Tiger Woods makes Masters press room laugh with honest answer about how his body feels but insists he ‘can get one more’

A relaxed Tiger Woods was in fine form during his Masters press conference, making waiting reporters laugh at questions about his body.

The golf legend is expected to take to the Augusta National course this week to make his 26th appearance in the tournament.

Woods has continually suffered serious injuries since his life-threatening car crash in 2021, playing just once on the PGA Tour this year.

After ankle surgery, he made his return to action at the Genesis Invitational in February before having to withdraw due to illness.

But now he is back to full health and spoke to the media about how his body feels ahead of the Masters.

Responding to a reporter’s question about how he feels after his shots, Woods responded with a smile: “Every shot that’s not on a tee box is a challenge – once we start the hole, it It’s a bit of a challenge.”

This brought laughter from the press room as Woods explained his current physical condition.

He added: “I have amazing medical staff who have helped me through this… and it’s an adjustment every day.

“My training sessions are definitely not what they used to be – I was living all day on the range or at the short game.

“I hope I have made these adaptations for this week.”

The 48-year-old then spoke about his Masters hopes this week, as he aims to win his sixth title at Augusta.

Despite his ongoing injury problems, he still believes he can win one more title to add to his collection.

“If everything goes well, I think I can get one more,” Woods said.

“This tournament has meant so much to me in my life and to my family.

“It’s part of my life to have won here in my first major tournament as a professional.

“I still want to keep playing in that.”

Woods’ chances of prevailing against such stiff competition are slim, but what a story it would be if he could don that green jacket one more time.

He has been paired with Max Homa and Jason Day for the first two rounds of the Masters, which begin at 6:24 p.m. UK time on Thursday and 3:18 p.m. on Friday.
