TIGER WOODS has claimed he can play through the pain barrier and make more history by winning a record-equalling sixth Masters title come Sunday.
The American superstar has played only six full PGA Tour events since a horrific car crash in February 2021.
And the 15-time Major winner has not completed 72 holes for nearly 15 months as he admitted: “I hurt every day”.
Woods winning his fifth Masters here in 2019 after 11 years of scandal and surgeries featured among the greatest sports stories and comebacks in history.
But the player now ranked world No.959 reckons he can go one better in 2024.
” If everything comes together, I think I can get one more,” he said. “Do I need to describe that any more than that, or are we good?”
In his pomp, Woods always insisted he’d never become a “ceremonial golfer” and he did not give a longer answer when asked if he had thought about joining fellow legends Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson as an honorary starter.
He added: “I have not thought about being a starter here, no.”.
Even when the things in his game don’t come together?
