Masters 2022: Tiger Woods on field list amid speculation he may return at Augusta National

The five-time champion is still on the Masters field list with a week until practice rounds begin
It's almost April, which means it's time for a tradition unlike any other: determining whether Tiger Woods is going to tee it up at Augusta National for this year's Masters. This has unfortunately become a nearly annual event because of Woods' extensive late-career run of injuries, but there's a completely different focus on Woods this year.
From tracking private planes to rumors of Tiger shooting worst-ball scores in the mid-60s at his home course in Florida, there's nothing that hasn't been floated as a bellwether for prognosticating whether Woods was going to play in many of the last several Masters. And yet, because of his extremely private life, there is still no clear indication this time around about whether Tiger will in fact make his (latest) comeback starting with the 86th edition of an event he's now won five times.
It would be remarkable if Tiger played the Masters for myriad reasons. He hasn't teed it up at an Official World Golf Rankings event since the 2020 Masters, which took place in November of that year. Since then, he endured yet another surgery on his back as well as one of the more horrific car wrecks we've ever seen a modern athlete endure.
