By Agencies On Apr 7, 2022

Augusta: Tiger Woods asks for another ball before teeing off on the 12th hole during a practice round for the Masters golf tournament on Wednesday, April 6, 2022, in Augusta, Ga. AP/PTI(PTI04_06_2022_000202B)

Augusta, April 6: As per tradition, which continues in 2022, Jack Nicklaus, winner of 18 Majors and Gary Player, winner of nine Majors, will be joined by Tom Watson, winner of eight Majors to get the 86th Masters off to a grand start.
But the most awaited tee off is the one scheduled for 8:04 pm IST for the trio comprising Tiger Woods, South African Louis Oosthuizen and Mexican Joaquin Niemann.
Since the Masters 2020, which was staged in November instead of the usual April, Woods has played only once at the fun-event, the Father-Son Challenge, where Woods and his son, Charlie, finished second.
It has been just under 14 months since Woods crashed his car and there was at one point the danger of his lower right leg being amputated. Golf was not in the frame, till Woods enlarged the picture.
There is a belief that if Woods is ready to tee up, then he is ready to win. (AP)
