World No 3 golfer Jon Rahm has tipped Tiger Woods to 'contend' for titles again following the American’s remarkable return at last week’s Masters Tournament. Woods was back out on the course 14 months after suffering severe injuries in a high-speed car crash.
The five-time green jacket winner rolled back the years throughout the week, and capped off his impressive comeback by making the cut line at the halfway point. The weekend did prove a little harder for Woods however as he shot back-to-back rounds of six-over par as Scottie Scheffler ended up running away with proceedings.
During Sunday’s final round, the 82-time PGA Tour champion was joined by reigning US Open champion Rahm, and the Spaniard had plenty of praise for his playing partner after battling through the gruelling conditions to participate.
