Tiger Woods devastates fans with April Fools prank about Masters news
Tiger Woods said he’s ready to play in the Masters next week at Augusta.
He also made the statement on April Fools’ Day.
Woods, a 15-time major champion, messed with fans on social media Tuesday, posting he was going to play in the annual tournament.
“I can’t believe I am saying this, but a few weeks after rupturing my left Achilles, the sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber plus the explosive lifts my doctors and trainers have me ready to play the Masters next week!” he posted. “Can’t wait! See y’all on the course.”
Five minutes later, Woods posted it was nothing more than an April Fools joke, stating his Achilles “is still a mess.”
Woods is expected to be at Augusta National for the Champions Dinner.
