Woods said he plans on playing another nine rounds on Wednesday in preparation for Thursday’s first round in what would be his first event against high-level competition since the 2020 Masters.

Woods said he did feel like he could win the Masters and the hard part about him playing was whether he was going to be able to continue to walk the course.

Woods played the PNC Championship in December 2021 and December 2020 alongside his son Charlie.

The 46-year-old golfer announced his determination to play after a practice round on Monday and another Tuesday morning prior to his news conference.
