I wanted to earn it in April - Woods─── MORGAN PIEK 09:41 Thu, 12 Nov 2020
The 84th Masters at the Augusta National in Georgia will be teeing off later today.
The major is the third and final one of the disrupted year, but it will provide for some thrilling golf nonetheless.
This year also marks the 25th anniversary since the former world number one and defending champion, Tiger Woods played in his first Masters.
Woods, who has had the famous green jacket for a record 19 months, says they are all fortunate to play this year.
“It's incredible just to have the jacket, have it around the house and just to be able to share with people.
“To have it this long is not that way that I want to have it, I wanted to earn it in April.
“Obviously we didn't have that, but we have an opportunity to play this week.
“Earlier in the year we didn't have this opportunity, so we are all very fortunate to be able to play this week.”
A win for Woods this week will see him tie Jack Nicklaus’ record of six wins.
