AUGUSTA, Ga. — One day after arriving at Augusta National Golf Club for an afternoon practice round, Tiger Woods was back on the course Monday morning.
In preparation for the 88th Masters Tournament, Woods was wearing a white sweater and black pants and a black hat, but these were sporting the new Sun Day Red logo for the first time at Augusta. Woods and TaylorMade announced the new brand in February after Woods and Nike parted ways in 2023 after a 27-year relationship.
The 48-year-old Woods has competed in just one PGA Tour event this year, withdrawing due to illness during the second round of the Genesis Invitational in February. The Masters will be his second start of the 2024 season.
The early reports from his Monday practice round were good.
“He played great today,” playing partner Will Zalatoris said. “He outdrove me a couple times so there was some chirping going on. So, you know, he looks great. He’s moving as well as he can be. Again, with everything he’s gone through, it’s pretty amazing to see how good he’s swinging it.”
Woods is looking for a record 24th made cut, which would put him alone for the most all-time. He’s currently tied with Fred Couples and Gary Player with 23.
