Experts Curtis Strange, Andy North and Notah Begay III weigh in on Tiger Woods’ chances at 2024 Masters

Tiger Woods’s bid for a record-tying sixth Green Jacket and 16th major title remains very much a mystery.

We know he’s registered as a contestant and that he took a scouting trip last weekend with Justin Thomas. But the last time he played a PGA Tour event he withdrew citing illness in February from the Genesis Invitational after hitting his tee shot on the seventh hole. He did play in the one-day Seminole Pro-Member in March but that’s it. He was a no-show at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he’s an eight-time champ, and the Players Championship, where he won twice. So, lacking in reps, to borrow a phrase he likes to use.

Hard to believe it’s already been five years since Tiger’s dramatic victory in notching his fifth Masters title and first major since the 2008 U.S. Open. He is scheduled to make his 26th career start at the Masters and would break a tie with Gary Player and Fred Couples if he were to make the weekend. It would be his 25th consecutive time making the cut. Last year, Tiger withdrew after making the cut, ended up requiring another surgery on his ankle – a subtalar fusion procedure to address issues stemming from his car crash in February 2021 – soon after and wasn’t seen again until the Hero World Challenge in late November and PNC Championship in December.

Here’s what the experts at Golf Channel and ESPN had to say about what they expect from Tiger next week.
