For Tiger Woods, a trip to Augusta National is expected this week, perhaps the disappointment by then having dissipated after a frustrating end to the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. He said it would take a few days to shake the sting of defeat. Right now, there's little time to waste.
The Masters begins April 11, and for Woods, the work at PGA events is now done. Woods, who is ranked 12th in the world after his tie for fifth (quarterfinal loss) at the Match Play, is coming off his best finish of the year.
But unlike a year ago, Woods will not go to the year's first major championship with the buzz of success enveloping him.
