'As of right now' - Tiger Woods intends to play Masters

Tiger Woods has declared his intentions to tee it up at the Masters on Thursday, saying that "as of right now, I feel like I am going to play".

The former world number one has been out of PGA Tour action since a horrific car crash in February 2021 and has not played on tour since the 2020 Masters.

His only event since the accident came last December when he finished runner-up alongside his son in a 36-hole exhibition played on a flat course with no rough.

Speaking to reporters at the Augusta National course, Woods said: "As of right now, I feel like I am going to play."
