Woods: Who knows if I’m a threat or not

Five-time champion Tiger Woods says he cannot be discounted as a Masters contender even with his mobility difficulties.

Only Jack Nicklaus (six) has won more Green Jackets than Woods, who produced one of sport’s great comebacks to win in 2019 after overcoming back surgery, suffered in a car crash.

Woods finished 47th last year as he returned to competitive golf 14 months after his accident.

“Whether I am a threat or not who knows,” said the 47-year-old. “People probably didn’t think I was a threat in 2019 either but that turned out OK. Prior to my back fusion I didn’t know if I was ever going to play the game at any kind of level. I was able to do that and come back and play and I happened to win a major along the way and with the accident it has been a tough road.”, he said.
