Tiger Woods says “as of right now I feel like I am going to play” in the Masters — and he thinks he can win it. “I don’t have any qualms about what I can do physically from a golf standpoint,” he said Tuesday at a news conference on the 25th anniversary of his historic victory at the 1997 Masters, responding to a question about whether he can win the tournament. Woods is scheduled to tee off for the first round at the 2022 Masters in Augusta, Ga., at 10:34 a.m. ET Thursday morning.
CBS Sports’ production team took home the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Live Sports Special for last year’s coverage of the Masters golf tournament. This weekend, the team will get a chance for a repeat with what is typically the first major of the season but was rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic. “To coin a phrase,” says CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus, “this is going to be a Masters unlike any other. The course is going to look different. It’s going to feel different. And there are going to be no patrons, so it gives us an opportunity maybe for some new and different camera angles. We’re excited about that.”
After his first PGA Tour win since 2009, Tiger Woods will bring momentum — and ratings juice for CBS — into the upcoming Masters tournament.
