Tiger Woods was missing from the 2021 Masters field due to injuries he suffered during a single-car crash in February 2021. His last appearance at Augusta National came during the 2020 version, which was played in November due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite carding a 10 on the par-3 12th during his final round, Woods finished with five birdies on his last six holes.
It’s hard to imagine the Masters without Woods, but we may have to wait another year to see him return to the grounds of his last major win.
Woods has slipped on the green jacket five times, just one shy of Jack Nicklaus’ record of six.
