Social Media Reacts To Tiger Woods Being A “Game-Time Decision” For The Masters This Week

Social media has been following Tiger Woods’comeback for sometime now and what a story it would be if he were able to suit up for the 2022 Masters this week in Augusta, Georgia.

Tiger Woods released a statement early on Sunday stating that, “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.”

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.

The golfing world is no doubt holding their breath as they carefully watch Woods hit range balls and soak up every bit of information they can on the situation.

While it is a true game-time decision, the fact that he is even this close to play and looks to be taking full rips on the range figures to mean he will at least give it a go this week. Woods currently has 15 majors and is a five-time Masters champion.

I mean, does this look like a person who is just there to walk the course and eventually sit-out?

The man looks focused and ready to get back out there.

Just watched Tiger Woods on the range here at Augusta National. Warm-up lasted less than 20 mins. Worked from wedges up to driver.

He did NOT MISS A SHOT. Every shot was flushed. Has not lost any speed

If he plays great. He has zero chance of being competitive. If he truly plays only to win then he won’t play because there is no chance he can win or even compete. Top 20 would be great but more than likely top 40. 2020 Masters he finished 19 shots behind DJ btw

Honestly, even if Tiger plays 2 rounds and is +20, his presence will make the Masters one of the best stories of 22

If I were a betting man, and I am, I would say that Tiger makes his return at a course he knows as much about as anyone I can think of. Not to mention the ratings that the Masters would get if he did make his return this week.

Here’s to hoping we see Woods make his long-awaited return to championship golf this week at one of the most prestigious events on the PGA tour.
