TIGERWOODS had an unusual back nine in his final Masters campaign before a terrible car accident 14 months ago.

After suffering severe leg injuries in an accident, the 46-year old missed 2021 edition. However, he has now confirmed that he WILL be playing this year in a miraculous comeback.

The 2020 tournament was actually the last PGA event Woods played prior to his near-fatal accident three months later.

His scorecard from Covid's delayed edition, won by Dustin Johnson and Woods as the defending champion is very impressive.

Woods finished T38 with a round of FIVE on his final round.

He still managed to hit a 4-over par round of 76.

ENHANCED ODDS

This is largely due to his scoring 10 on the par three 12th hole. It was the most he has ever scored on one hole in his career.

Woods gave up at the Amen Corner midway point in 2020, sending THREE shots to the Rae's Creek water.

He returned to Augusta to practice with the hope of making a spectacular comeback.

Woods had initially stated that he would make a decision at "game time" about whether or not he would participate, but he announced on Tuesday that he has officially declared for the event.

For his big return on Thursday, he has been joined by Joaquin Niemann and Louis Oosthuizen. He will tee off at 3.34pm (GMT).

The American confirmed his participation in the tournament, just 14 months after almost having his leg amputated in a crash. Tomorrow, I will play nine holes more.

"My recovery was good. "I'm very happy with how I have recovered every day. That's the challenge.

"That's why i came up here to test it out for 27 holes, because we also played the par-3 course. It's all about the recovery.

"How can I get rid of all the swelling and make it easier to recover the next day?"

"My team was fantastic and worked hard. We have nine more holes to play before it's game time.
