There have apparently been numerous rumors this week that Tiger Woods has been doing undercover prep work at Augusta National this week for the 2016 Masters.
Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told Bob Harig of ESPN that the aforementioned reports are simply not true.
This is not really a big surprise. But such is life when you're Tiger Woods and social media rumors exist. I would be shocked if Woods showed to play the 2016 Masters. Of course, I thought many of the same things late last year and Woods dropped a top 20 on us after a few months off.
This time feels much different, but who knows. Maybe we will see Tiger stalking the grounds looking for win No. 5 there. He hasn't announced he's not playing ... yet ...
In 2014, Woods announced he wouldn't play nine days before the tournament started. We are currently 12 days away, so I would expect something next week on Woods' status for this year's tournament.
Woods has insinuated he will attend the Champions Dinner this year regardless.
