The 2022 Masters Tournament is the comeback event of Tiger Woods after his accident in 2021. Although he was severely injured and is still in the recovery period, the golfer is confident that he can win the championship. And the American sports columnist Skip Bayless believes the same. 

“I’m going from your 2%, I’m gonna put a zero on it and go to 20%,” Bayless said. Bayless shared his opinion on Woods’ winning probability on his chatshow Skip and Shannon: Undisputed. 

“There are actually two people in sports I do not put against,” he added. “You know, the one he plays quarterback for Tampa Bay, but this is the other guy.” 

Bayless and Shannon Sharp co-host the chatshow on YouTube. And they discuss multiple sports and sports entities in the program. Although he is already a famous columnist, Bayless is much more infamous for his hate towards the NBA star Lebron James.

He has once shared that he doesn’t hate the Los Angeles Lakers small forward. However, he still believes that James does not have the qualities to be considered the greatest of all time. According to him, Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Nevertheless, later, his co-host Shannon Sharp confirmed that Bayless indeed hates James. 

Bayless has always been true to his opinions, even if it attracts controversies. Although the chatshow host doesn’t particularly like Lebron James, he believes that Woods can win the 2022 Masters, and he is not scared to say it loud. 

Bayless has his reasons to believe Tiger Woods can win the 2022 Masters!

“He (Woods) is the greatest clutch putter in the history of the game, including the great Jack Nicklaus,” Bayless said. According to him, Tiger is not as good as other greatest players in terms of hitting drivers. And the golfer compromises that with his incredible shotmaking skills. 

“The point is he’s plenty long enough because the driver swing to me, it looks better than ever,” Bayless said. “It looked efficient. It looks in sync.” Bayless explained what he thought about Woods hitting balls on the practice round at the Augusta this week. 

Bayless admits that he is a huge golf fan and has been following the sport for ages. He also agreed that he has watched and studied closely how Woods plays his shots. And after watching his practice round before the Masters, Bayless believes Woods has a shot at winning the event. He thinks he has a 20% chance of winning the first major of the year.
