Tiger Woods is so often bullish about his chances ahead of The Masters but it is clear that his outlook is now changing as he puts his ailing body to the test once again at Augusta.
Woods is making his 25th competitive appearance in golf's most prestigious tournament this week but severe physical limitations are taking their toll on the 47-year-old.
It is a feat in itself for the injury-ravaged Woods to be in the field at the first major of the season following his life-threatening car accident in Los Angeles two years ago.
