Scottie Scheffler becoming the world's No 1 player hasn't been the biggest golf story in the build-up to Augusta - much to the American's relief.
Indeed, the headlines have been dominated by the return of Tiger Woods, who has confirmed his intention to play in the Masters against all the odds. Woods, 46, has not entered a pro-event since his high-speed car crash last February, which left him with multiple breaks in his legs.
Eyebrows were raised when the 15-time major winner was included in the provisional entry list for the year's first major last month, and when he then completed a practice round at the venue last week the speculation became frenzied. Sure enough, he flew back to Augusta on Sunday and after further practice sessions, on Tuesday told reporters: “As of right now, I feel I am going to play."
