Masters Tradition
While Woods may not compete as frequently as he did during his prime, he remains a fixture at the Masters tournament held annually at Augusta National Golf Club. This year, he joins approximately 90 other players in the quest for the coveted green jacket, an accolade he has claimed multiple times over the course of his illustrious career.

Despite his current ranking as the 959th golfer in the Official World Golf Ranking, Woods' every move on the course will undoubtedly be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike, beginning Thursday and potentially extending throughout the weekend.
Tiger Woods exemplifies resilience, skill, and enduring passion for the sport of golf, proving that his legacy as an iconic figure in the realm of athletics remains as vibrant and compelling as ever.
