It will be a game-time decision for Tiger Woods at the Masters.
Woods, who damaged his right leg a little more than 13 months ago in a crash, arrived at Augusta National on Sunday afternoon and warmed up on a range where there were more photographers than players, The Associated Press reported.
Woods hit balls for about 20 minutes and then got in a cart and headed to the course, which was closed Sunday afternoon to everyone except players and caddies, the AP reported.
Earlier Sunday, Woods tweeted that he was headed to Augusta National to continue his preparation for the tournament, but he is undecided about playing.
“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,” Woods wrote.
The Masters does not have a firm deadline to commit like regular Tour events because it is an invitation tournament. Players usually notify the club only if they do not plan to play.
Tee times will be published Tuesday.
If Woods decides to play — he played 18 holes five days ago at Augusta National — it would be his first competition against the world’s best players since Nov. 15, 2020, when the Masters was moved to the fall because of the coronavirus pandemic.
