Against all odds, Tiger Woods teed off in the Masters on Thursday for his first truly competitive tournament since a car wreck that damaged his right leg so ...

The biggest question is how Woods holds up over 18 holes for four straight days. I don't have any qualms about what I can do physically from a golf standpoint," Woods said Tuesday.

A timeline of @TigerWoods' remarkable return.

Thursday morning at the 86th Masters Tournament, Tiger Woods makes his TOUR comeback from severe leg injuries suffered in a single-car accident in February ...

Hole 1 (par 4, 445 yards): Woods took driver off the tee, but he didn't catch all of it; the ball traveled 264 yards, settling just short of the right fairway bunker. The 82-time TOUR winner played a safe pitch to 15 feet right of the hole, and he proceeded to two-putt for par, his birdie try just burning the edge. Hole 4 (par 3, 240 yards): For the third consecutive full-swing approach, Woods played short of the hole. The crowd gasped, and Woods tapped in for his fifth consecutive par to begin his competitive return. Hole 5 (par 4, 495 yards): Another buttery fade off the tee, safely finding the right side of the fairway, with 216 yards uphill into the green on one of Augusta National's traditionally most difficult holes. The par putt slid right of the hole, and Woods tapped in for his first bogey of the tournament. Hole 6 (par 3, 180 yards): With a bullet cut 6-iron, Woods sent a jolt of energy through the Georgia pines, the ball tracking toward the cup the entire way. He saved par to remain in red numbers on the day. Perhaps a sign of working through competitive rust, Woods caught his pitch shot heavy and the ball failed to reach the green, settling 15 yards short of the hole. The ball traveled 315 yards, leaving 112 yards to the hole, with branches squarely in his line. Hole 10 (par 4, 495 yards): Woods began the second nine with a 302-yard bullet down the middle, drawing roars of appreciation from the patrons at the turn. He took a bold line on his second shot over Rae's Creek and it paid dividends, the approach landing soft on the left side of the green, inside 25 feet for eagle.

La légende du golf Tiger Woods a officiellement repris la compétition au 86e Masters d'Augusta, premier Grand Chelem de la saison, plus de 13 mois après ...

"Ce fut un chemin difficile. L'Américain de 46 ans, vainqueur de quinze Majeurs, a tapé sa première balle sur le parcours mythique à 11h05 locales (17h05 françaises, 15h05 GMT), une demi-heure plus tard que prévu en raison d'orages survenus à l'aube, auxquels a brièvement succédé la bruine. Woods avait été hospitalisé pendant des semaines et incapable de marcher pendant des mois.

Le Masters est un tournoi majeur, le 1er de l’année, et à mon avis, la balle est maintenant entre les mains des jeunes. Tout ceci, je l’accorde aux vétérans, mais quand l’on s’arrête aux résultats des tournois disputés jusqu’à présent cette année au circuit de la PGA, les jeunes loups se sont imposés. Oui, il est vrai que les jeunes loups ont mis un peu de temps pour y ravir un premier Veston vert, Jordan Spieth étant le premier à le faire en 2015.

Le meilleur du Masters 2022 en direct ce jeudi 7 avril à partir de 13 heures (heure française). Les conditions sont encore humides à Augusta. En raison des violents orages qui ont sévi mercredi et dans la nuit, les départs ont été retardés de 30 minutes. Des éclaircies de plus en plus larges s'installeront au point que le ciel deviendra peu nuageux dans l'après-midi. Quelques précipitations prévues. Le vent va souffler, de 19 à 25 km/h. Quelques rafales avec des pointes à 40 km/h pourraient même souffler. L’an passé c’est Lee Elder qui s’était joint à Nicklaus et Player mais Lee Elder est décédé en novembre dernier. Aujourd'hui à Augusta, une amélioration du temps est heureusement prévue en cours de journée : encombré le matin, le ciel pluvieux se dégagera au fil des heures. Il a énormément plu à Augusta depuis 48 heures. Celle composé de Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith et Paul Casey (16h53 en France) Le tenant du titre Hideki Matsuyama s'élancera à 17h15 (HF) en compagnie de Justin Thomas et James Piot. A suivre également, la partie choc Will Zalatoris, Patrick Cantlay et John Rahm (20h11, HF), suivie de celle avec Jordan Spieth, Viktor Hovland et Xander Schauffele (20h21 HF). Enfin, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Brooks Koepka et Rory McIlroy fermeront la marche ce jeudi à 2Oh23 (HF). Grâce à une splendide approche au fer 4 à un mètre cinquante du trou, Tiger Woods putte pour un premier birdie. Plus agressif à ses côtés, le Chilien Niemann a signé deux birdies sur les trous 3 et 4, effaçant son bogey du 1. A l'attaque depuis le début de la partie, le jeune Chilien rentre son deuxième coup sur le par 4 (414 mètres) du trou n°9 ! Après un gros drive, son approche en montée dépasse de trois mètres le drapeau avant de revenir vers le trou grâce à l'effet retro. Ca ne va pas fort pour l'Américain Matthew Wolff (22 ans), qui pointe déjà à +6 au trou n°8. Le vainqueur du 3M Open 2020 sur le PGA Tour, son quatrième tournoi seulement après être passé pro, a débuté par un double bogey au 1, avant de poster quatre bogeys pour trois petits pars... Seul point d'inquiétude, il semble fatigué et traîne un peu la patte...

The 2022 Masters Tournament begins on Thursday, with Round 1 featuring the return of Tiger Woods to professional golf.All eyes will be on Tiger when he tees ...

None of these options are particularly appealing to me, or would appear in my top-10 list of likely guys to win. We’ve officially made it to Masters eve. •8h ago •8h ago •8h ago •8h ago That’s something that certainly we have considered and will continue to consider.” •8h ago That was 31 years ago. Mickelson, then a junior at Arizona State, finished his first round two shots off the lead, firing a 69 that included a back-nine 32, tying the Masters amateur record. •8h ago The Masters will again be televised on ESPN and CBS this year and available to watch on Masters.com.

The 11th and 15th have been changed to offer balance between risk and reward but the 13th remains toothless.

“I hope that he would feel that we continue to carry the tradition and values we thought were so important in the game.” The club have always caught between the old and the new, the desire to do right by the traditions, and to keep improving, too. “So that probably has been a counter to doing anything.” The club’s co-founder Bobby Jones loved that hole, which he said offers players “a tempting and dangerous” decision about whether to bend the tee-shot around the corner so they can reach the green in two. The players hit it so long off the tee they are left with a short iron into the green. They often tinker with the course, but these changes are a little more drastic than usual, the idea, as always, is to make sure it is still a course that offers the right balance between risk and reward.

Augusta National has reached a fever pitch ahead of the 2022 Masters as anticipation has grown throughout the world for the year's first major tournament.

77. Guido Migliozzi (first appearance): After grinning his way to a T4 at the U.S. Open at Torrey last year, he's made just one cut in 2022, and it was a T67 at the Ras al Khaimah Championship. He's somehow lost strokes in every statistical category in every tournament except for the three events in which he narrowly gained strokes off the tee. 74. Takumi Kanaya (T58 in 2019): Kanaya is coming off a good showing at the match play in Austin, but broadly speaking, he's not a great iron player, which seems problematic in a week like this one. 67. Charl Schwartzel (Won in 2011): Schwartzel has had a completely bizarre record at Augusta since winning maybe the wildest Masters of all time in 2011. He's been playing solid golf of late, and he gets the lefty advantage at Augusta. I'm in on him to finish in the top 25 or so. 46. Bubba Watson (Won in 2012, 2014): This tournament marks the 10-year anniversary of his famous hooking shot out of the woods on the 10th hole. 45. Kevin Kisner (T21 in 2019): He's been playing such tremendous golf, but this is not a course that necessarily sets up that well for him, and his history here (two straight missed cuts and no top-20 finishes) shows it. 22. Marc Leishman (T4 in 2013): I imagine he's been running Leishman National pretty fast on the stimpmeter for a few weeks now to help him prepare for this year's event. 11. Viktor Hovland (T21 in 2021): He would be in the top five if his short game was in order. 10. Jordan Spieth (Won in 2015): In the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2021 Masters, Spieth beat or tied 447 of 453 competitors (98.7%). He somehow has one green jacket. 6. Scottie Scheffler (T18 in 2021): It feels foolish to have the No. 1 player in the world this low, but Scheffler is not your normal No. 1 player in the world. 8. Dustin Johnson (Won in 2020): Over his last 50 rounds following the WGC-Dell Match Play, D.J.'s strokes gained tee to green numbers were below Adam Hadwin, C.T. Pan and Martin Laird. He played well at Austin Country Club, but a lot of that was due to a putter that's been smoking for a while now. Dumping his tee shot into the water on No. 16 last year as soon as he got within striking distance of Hideki Matsuyama was not encouraging, but it also seems statistically impossible to get into contention as much as he has (eight top-seven finishes in 18 majors) and not eventually win one.

Augusta will mark the first in a storybook summer for the 19-year-old, who will also be the first from his country ever to tee it up at the Open Championship at St. Andrews in July. This year will mark his second Masters start — he finished T36 in 2017, becoming the first Mid-Am entrant to make the cut at Augusta National. Jarvis, who plays collegiately for UNLV, won the Latin American Amateur Championship to earn an invite into the field at Augusta National. In doing so, he’ll be the first player from the Cayman Islands to tee it up in the event. Nakajima is something of a superstar in his native Japan, seen by many as the natural successor to Hideki Matsuyama atop the country’s golf mantel. This, of course, is thanks to its founder, Bobby Jones. Jones is the most famous amateur in golf history, a player who won seven majors without ever turning “pro.” Rather, Jones moonlighted in professional golf from his day job as an attorney. The club also hosts an annual amateur dinner on the night before the Masters begins, an idea that came at the suggestion of Jones himself.

The Masters is officially underway at Augusta National. That's our favorite sentence of the year, and we're more excited than ever.

8 a.m.: The ceremonial first-tee shots were pushed back about a half hour to let the remaining wet weather pass through. Last to hit is Tom Watson, joining the first-tee ceremony. 8:39 a.m.: The first group is off—and we have our first birdie. The 86th Masters Tournament is now underway! With all the rain, we suppose the committee knows it needs to challenge competitors on Thursday. We'd still expect low scores if the wind isn't too bad in the afternoon. He was making jokes, doing his signature kick, and hitting one down the fairway. And players like Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and Will Zalatoris—who might have a sour taste in their mouths after close calls last year—are among the favorites. The Masters is officially underway at Augusta National. That’s our favorite sentence of the year, and we’re more excited than ever. Gary Player was the first to hit. Jose Maria Olazabal—out there first with J.J. Spaun—holes out on the first green and gets to 1-under. That’s not even mentioning the other favorites like Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith and Dustin Johnson … etc., etc. Rory McIlroy makes his eighth attempt at completing the career Grand Slam (he’s in the 2:33 p.m. pairing with Brooks Koepka and Matt Fitzpatrick). Scottie Scheffler, the new World No. 1, looks to keep up his torrid pace—but six players have a chance to be ranked first in the world after this week.

Longtime honorary starters Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player were joined this year by Tom Watson as they strolled through a gathering of Augusta National members, ...

What matters is after a patron-less Masters in the fall of 2020 and a limited gallery last spring, the first tee was surrounded once again to honor this tradition unlike any other. The men, with 11 Masters wins between them, did their duty—first Player, followed by Nicklaus and then Watson—striking their shots to begin the 2022 tournament in earnest. Other players who have been Honorary Starters include Byron Nelson, Gene Sarazen, Ken Venturi, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Nicklaus, Player and Lee Elder. Watson is the latest to join these ranks, named as an honorary starter this past January.

Tiger Woods is scheduled to tee off for the first round of the Masters on Thursday as he targets a remarkable comeback following a car crash in February ...

I think it's amazing for him to be out here." "Walking is the hard part. Seventy-two holes is a long road. It's going to be a tough challenge and a challenge I'm up for." "With the conditions my leg is in, it gets a little bit more difficult. "I know the leg is hurt but he's hitting it plenty far enough to play this course, and he plays this course as well as he does, he's won here a bunch, he knows what to do."

Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and newcomer Tom Watson have played their ceremonial tee shots and opened this year's Masters.

“I've watched this ceremony many times in the past ... and to be a part of this thing, I'm truly humbled." Forecasters say there isn't a great chance of more rain on Thursday at Augusta National, though strong wind is expected to greet the afternoon wave of players. And then the stage was set for Watson, who won the first of his two green jackets 45 years ago. Olazabal is a two-time Masters champion and is playing the tournament for the 33rd time. Player, the three-time Masters champion who has long been an advocate of physical fitness, was first to play. “Yes! It was successful," he said, drawing more laughter.

He also pumped his drive past both Nicklaus and Player, much to the chagrin of the latter. It's the most normal a beginning to this event has felt in three years.

Nicklaus played the final round of the Masters 37 times. It was in the final round, with a 3-iron from 222 yards. Yet still it seems we are drawn to records at the Masters more than any other tournament in golf. The next closest competitors in this category are Raymond Floyd, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Angel Cabrera and Mickelson, all stuck at three, so Tiger’s probably holding onto this one for a while. Phil Mickelson is the next closest at 18, yet still several good Masters finishes away from matching. Playing the same course makes it feel as though, once a year, time stands still and we can watch the current greats compete against the scores of past champions (as well as that year’s field).

Tiger Woods' first-round score of 1-under 71 put him within shouting distance of the lead after the first round of the Masters on Thursday.

Woods' career was in jeopardy after the car wreck left him confined to a hospital bed for three months. "A loss of concentration there," he moaned. A sloppy bogey at the par-5 eighth brought some groans, but Woods' brilliant short game kept him from posting one of those big numbers that can spell doom at Augusta. "Once the adrenaline kicks in and I get into my own little world, I knew I should be able to handle business." "You just can't not watch him," said Australia's Cameron Smith, among those tied for the lead after shooting a 68. Yep, there's still a long way to go. His lone tournament in the 508 days since he last competed was a just-for-fun event in December in which he rode in a cart and was paired with his 13-year-old son, Charlie. Woods was out of the public eye until last November, when he posted a video of him swinging a club with a simple message, "Making progress." Woods failed to make solid contact with his first shot: a 264-yard drive that faded behind a bunker on the right side of the fairway. His approach rolled off the front of the green, but he sank a 10-foot putt to save par, bringing another huge roar from the patrons. The ball climbed up a ridge on the green and stopped 2 feet short of the flag, leaving Woods with a gimme that put him in red numbers for the first time. He was just three strokes off the lead — with roughly half the field still on the course — after making three birdies, a pair of bogeys and a whole lot of solid pars — many of them salvaged by his deft touch around the greens.

“He really wanted to get better and he saw everybody had a coach so he asked me to help him,” Epps said. Abandoned by his parents, he became a caddie at the age of 8 to earn enough money to eat and it wasn’t long before he took up the game himself. “He never had a sports psychologist or anything like that and he grew up with a chip on his shoulder. He is not scheduled to be released from prison until next January at the earliest, despite his pleas of innocence. Prosecutors are also looking at allegations from two other women, including the mother of his children, and his lawyer says there’s a chance he could be charged with more crimes. A huge crowd greeted him when he flew home after winning the 2007 U.S. Open and there was a parade in his honour.

Tiger Woods a réalisé une entame bluffante jeudi au Masters d'Augusta, où il a bouclé son premier tour en 71 (-1) avec un coup sous le par, plus de...

Car à Augusta où il a toujours franchi le cut et dont il connaît les moindres recoins, le relief est sa principale difficulté. Mais le Tigre, le corps déjà meurtri par un nombre incalculable de blessures, a une nouvelle fois su se relever, pour réussir un retour que personne n'attendait si rapide à Augusta, où son premier défi sera d'y tenir la distance sur quatre tours. Woods pointe dans le Top 10 provisoire, à trois longueurs du leader provisoire, l'Australien Cameron Smith (-4). L'Américain de 46 ans, parti dans le même groupe que le Sud-Africain Louis Oosthuizen et le Chilien Joaquin Niemann (qui n'était pas né lorsqu'il s'adjugea son premier Masters en 1997), n'a trahi aucun signe de faiblesse, à la fois physiquement et dans son jeu. Une performance impressionnante de la part du champion, qui n'a plus joué depuis plus de 17 mois - son dernier tournoi était l'édition 2020 du Masters décalée à novembre en raison du Covid-19 - et tente de remporter à Augusta un sixième titre, pour égaler le record de son glorieux aîné Jack Nicklaus. Dans une ambiance assez électrique, digne de celle des dimanche de sacres, les clameurs avaient déjà accompagné son apparition tôt en matinée. Mais c'est sa jambe droite qui attirait tous les regards.
