Former number one Tiger Woods believes he is in the right shape to win a 15th major as he declared himself ready for the Masters, which begins on Thursday.
Woods, who is now world 111, has been working on his game since carding a career-worst score of 82 at the Phoenix Open, before injury saw him withdraw from the Farmers Insurance Open.

Good choices, but remember the defending champ (Adam Scott) and Cabrerra who always seems to be in the mix at Augusta. The Duck always seems to do well at this venue.
I think that's a good bet if by 'newcomer' you mean first time winner which would include Sergio, Speith, Jason Day and Ryan Moore
I don’t know how I missed it. Maybe 9:00 am was EST. It didn’t show up on my guide in PST.
At any rate, I’m still disappointed. After they find a way to repeat Big Break multiple times.
I hope Tiger make a creditable showing, but this Masters belongs to the up-and-comers; Rory, Jordan, and maybe even last month’s surprise winners, James Hahn and Matt Every if they can stay on a roll.
I plan to watch from an exercise bike in front of a huge TV at the gym on Sunday. I’ll probably get as much exercise as the players. Do I get a trophy too?
And essentially ruined his career doing so. I remember sitting on the couch screaming at him to concede the match. Rocco Mediate, opponent, was no threat to him in the rankings, he had nothing to lose but a few hundred thou, which he'd never miss. His body hasn't been reliable since then. Stupid antlers on the hilltop stuff, he shudda known better.
So the oddsmakers didn’t even rank James Hahn? Meanwhile, Hahn hit a hole in one on the tough 12th hole yesterday.
Got my eye on him.
Woods’ game has suffered since he got off the roids.
Tiger, Rory, Jordan Spieth, etc... One thing’s for sure - today they are off and running!
But I think he can still put together four rounds and contend and hopefully win a major. Two years ago he came out of nowhere to win the British Open, and I would have said his game was totally unsuited for winning a British.

Palmer smoked on the course too. But that was a different era.
Jordan Spieth, 8-under through fourteen. He’s flirting with the course record.
And Ernie Els. 6-under!
Exciting first day for sure!
Go Jordan! Looks like this will be his breaking out party, like Tiger in 97.
The big story is 57 year-old Mark O’Meara at -4 today.
Congrats to the young man, shown here hugging his Dad (in green shirt no less). Anyone notice that all friends and family (except Mom) had Under Armour shirts on? Family promotion!
