He made his first championship appearance in 1995 when he tied for 41st with Mark Calcavecchia, Jeff Sluman and Payne Stewart.
Immediately after playing as an amateur, he missed his first game in 1996.
After the legend’s remarkable tenure, Bob Harig took to his official X account (formerly Twitter) and wrote: “As @TWlegion previously noted, Tiger will be at. Augusta National today before Masters.
Rumor has it he plays (or played) club president Fred Ridley and … Justin Thomas.” From his first and last surgeries, he always made it to the surgeries, except when he didn’t show up to games at all.
In 2014, he suffered a back injury in the Honda Classic while playing in the finals, which prevented him from participating in the Masters that year.
He even withdrew from the tournament in 2016 just six days before the start of the tournament due to the same long-term back injury, and did not play the following year! Worst, in 2021, just 90 minutes before the start of the tournament, Woods retired because his right leg was injured in a car accident. But that’s not all.
Woods’ journey has not been all sunshine and rainbows at the Masters. He was involved in one of the biggest controversies in golf history! Bad putt and penalty: 2013 Woods controversy2013. At the 2018 Masters, Tiger Woods’ bad break led to a bad situation putt.
Tiger Woods himself posted a series of tweets on his X account that he took the wrong position when he put the ball on the 15th hole in the second round. So his shot hit the pin and the ball bounced back into the water.
He had bogeyed the par-5, but it turned out to be a triple bogey.As Woods explained, “On No. 15, I took a drop that I thought was fair and against the rules. I didn’t know that at the time I broke the rules.”
He received a double sentence and accepted it. But he was saved because the USGA and RandA just changed the rules in 2011 That allowed players to win after penalties if the logical factors were not presented well.
Gradually, Fred Riley came to the conclusion that Woods was following the rules after reviewing the tape!.
