TIGER’S trail for golfing greatness continues as he tees off on Thursday April 11 for the 2013 United States Masters Golf Tournament, this year’s first of the four golf majors.

His fans expect nothing less than a victory on Sunday April 14. If he does, it would reinforce their belief that the Tiger roar is back and he will once again start amassing `Ws’.

Sitting snugly at the top of the golfing world, Woods has won more tournaments this year than some have won in their entire PGA career - three! However, where it matters, he is still stuck in a drought, never yet winning a Major since he last won the US Open in 2008. A win here would make this his fifth Masters.

At his lowest ebb, Woods fell to a lowly 58th in the golf rankings in 2011, an alarming dip following the revelation of his scandalous private life that led to divorce. He has found a new love in his life – US skier Lindsey Vonn. With perfect timing, he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational within weeks of revealing this new relationship.

At 37, Tiger still has plenty of time to add to his haul of 14 Majors to match Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 titles. Nicklaus won the last of his titles aged 46. He has been quoted as feeling comfortable with every aspect of his game and feels very excited about his prospects for the weekend.

Woods will be paired off with England’s Luke Donald and unknown Scott Piercy for the first two rounds. World Number 2, Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland partners 2011 PGA champion Keegan Bradley and Sweden’s Freddie Jacobson.

The youngest golfer in the field of 42 is 14-year-old Guan Tianlang of China who earned the right to play by winning the Asia-Pacific Amateru Championship in 2012. Italy’s Matteo Manassero was 16 when he made his Masters debut in 2010.
