Tiger Woods’ score: Live Masters updates, results, highlights from Thursday’s Round 1
The question on everyone’s mind heading into the 2022 Masters Tournament: what to expect from Tiger Woods?
Just over a year ago, Woods was in a near-fatal car accident that nearly resulted in the amputation of his right leg. On Thursday, Woods will return to the Masters for the first time since the accident as he begins his quest for a record-tying green jacket.
Woods has a case for the greatest golfer of all time, but given what he has been through in the past year, no one is sure what to expect out of him at the Augusta National Golf Club. He already made one miraculous comeback in 2019, when he won the Masters for the first time in 14 years and picked up his first major win in 11 years after multiple injuries had hindered his career. Does he have another storybook win in him? Oddsmakers, at least, aren’t counting him out.

Hole 15, Par 5
