The odds are reportedly against Tiger Woods being healthy enough to return for the 2017 Masters, which starts April 6.
Per Brian Wacker of Golf Digest, Woods is "unlikely" to make it back for the Masters since he's been unable to "play or practice" due to lingering back issues.
Wacker cited two different sources, with one saying, "I would be shocked if [Woods] plays anytime soon.” Another one who saw Woods recently noted the 14-time major champion "didn't look good."
After missing 15 months following back surgery in September 2015, Woods returned to the PGA Tour for the Hero World Challenge in December.
