The golf world has reacted with shock and excitement as Tiger Woods has revealed he will most likely play the Masters after the fan frenzy surrounding his return from a life-threatening car injury.
Woods sparked wild scenes as Augusta when the American attended a practice round just 14 months after almost losing a leg in a horror car crash in California that required multiple leg surgeries and threatened to end his playing career for good.
While rumours of the 46-year-old making an unfathomable comeback had circulated the week before the Masters, the proposition of Woods actually playing gathered steam with massive crowds flocking to watch him practice.
Since the wild scenes, Woods has addressed his chances of taking part at Augusta.
And the 15-time major winner sent a warning to his rivals following the fan frenzy around his return.
“As of right now, I feel like I am going to play,” the five-time Masters winner said.
When asked if he thought he could win the tournament only 14-months after a life-threatening car crash, which saw him undergo multiple surgeries, Woods was direct.
“I do,” he answered.
Woods will be seeking his sixth green jacket and the positive news sent the golf world into a spin.
Legendary swimmer Michael Phelps even reacted with excitement after he claimed: “Let’s go” in an Instagram story.
