AUGUSTA, Ga. — Sometimes Tiger Woods sounds like an old man from Palm Beach.

“I hurt every day,” he said here at the Masters on Tuesday. “I ache … I ache every day.”

What about the ankle?

“The ankle doesn't hurt anymore,” Woods said. “It's fused. It's not going anywhere. So that's fine. It's other parts of my body that now have to take the brunt of it. So, yeah, once [the doctor] put the rods in there, it's good to go. But, the back, the knee, other parts of the body have to take the load of it, and just the endurance capability of walking a long time and being on my feet for a long time.
