What do you guys think? Does he tee it up next week at Augusta? I would be surprised, for many reasons.#1, it is a really difficult course to walk. But I think he gives it a go.
Does Tiger play?

I think his leg was shattered is more the reason for the question, not his athleticism.
There actually was talk amongst the surgeons about amputation. I hope he plays, but I can't see him making the cut. But, I said no way Nova beats Houston last week, so what do I know. I do know the TV ratings will be thru the roof next Thursday and Friday if he does tee it up....
I’ll be there Wednesday so hoping he plays the par 3 contest if nothing else.
I hope so. Love the guy or hate the guy, he brings excitement to the game.
No . He would likely miss the cut and as you say it is a brute to walk. If he had planned on playing he would have tried a couple tournaments earlier maybe a couple weeks apart.
Tough guy. Tiger is a great athlete. He almost had his leg amputated 13 months ago. Yes, walking a hilly course, any course, is a challenge after his accident. Not too long ago Tiger won the US Open playing the final round on a broken leg.
Reportedly he played a practice round at Augusta this week. If his leg handled it well, if it didn’t swell up after the round, I think he plays at Augusta. I think the emotional support he will get from the fans and the other players will be unprecedented.
Tiger will do it if he can. He loves Augusta. And it seems he cherishes his relationships with other players more now than earlier in his career. Plus his personality will make him think that if Hogan played after a car accident, he can too. He loves challenges. After he won his last Masters, I thought it was possible he would win another major or two until the accident. I hope he proves me wrong.
I hope not, at least not at the Masters. If he plays the cameras will be on him the whole time he’s on the coarse and probably even when he’s not. It will be like he’s the only golfer in the Masters. Not interested in the tiger master exclusive……..
Tiger: The most self-absorbed person in "sports", which is really saying something. If you call golf a sport, which is a game requiring athletic skills.
