Ever since Tiger Woods went to Augusta National last week to see if he could handle playing the course we’ve been waiting for the five-time Masters champ to make an announcement on whether or not he will be playing in this year’s event, which starts Thursday.
We finally got an update from Tiger on Sunday morning when he tweeted some news, saying he’s heading back to Augusta on Sunday where he will continue to prepare and practice before making a decision later this week.
Tiger, of course, suffered serious leg injuries in a car accident last year and has only played in the PNC Championship (where he was allowed to use a cart) with his son, Charlie, last December.
Here’s Tiger’s update, followed by what others in the golf world are saying:
I will be heading up to Augusta today to continue my preparation and practice. It will be a game-time decision on whether I compete. Congratulations to 16-year-old Anna Davis on an amazing win at the @anwagolf and good luck to all the kids in the @DriveChipPutt.

.@TigerWoods has already said he will attend Champions Dinner Tuesday night. If past is prolog, he will play today around evening time. Tuesday and Wednesday weather forecast looks horrid, so maybe a practice round Monday https://t.co/BQqpgtI0F1

Tiger Woods announced this morning that it will be “game-time decision on whether I compete” at the Masters. Feels fitting to type “game-time decision” on a Sunday again.

Tiger Woods officially a “game-time decision” for the Masters which means a LOT of analyzing how he’s walking these next few days.
Unless something happens, I think he’ll play. Sources familiar with his practice have said he has speed and his game looks good. Now, we wait…

Who wants to make t-shirts that say “Game-Time Decision”?
