Only Tiger Woods knows for sure if he's ready to conquer another Masters. The rest of us are only left to guess. More than guess. We can anticipate. He didn’t spend all these weeks working on his game, didn’t fly to Augusta to get in a presumed practice round for nothing.

It’s been an agonizing few months for Woods since he was carted off Torrey Pines on February 6, 12 holes into the Farmers Insurance Open. His back had stiffened in the cool breeze off the Pacific—in Tiger talk, his “glutes are shutting off,” as he told Ron Kaspriske of Golf Digest—and he withdrew. And after the missed cut a week earlier in Arizona, we were wondering where it all would lead.
