Is Tiger Woods going to be a part of the 2022 Masters?

Eldrick Woods is still part of the list of the past champions playing at the 2022 Masters. But he has not confirmed his status about playing at the major championship. Moreover, Augusta National can only remove a professional’s name from the list if the professional communicates it to the Club.

As a result, unlike any other PGA Tour event, the 15-time major championship winner has time till the tournament week to confirm his playing status. Not to forget that Tiger has not played a single event in the 2022 season. He last played at the 2021 PNC Championship.

Moreover, in the past few days, some positive news about his comeback has come into the light, which adds to him playing at the event.
