One of the most anticipated days on the sports calendar is just one day away from teeing off: Masters Thursday.
But as the 95-player field gets its last practice rounds in, a key figure will be missing from it.
For the first time since his devastating car accident in 2021, five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods will not be battling the ebbs and flows of the course at Augusta National Golf Club in hopes of winning another green jacket.
Woods, one of the most decorated golfers in the history of the sport, finished 60th in the field in last year's tournament, his third consecutive tournament that he has finished below 38th place.
