WATCH: Tiger Woods and Will Zalatoris embrace the Masters tradition and skip balls at 16 at Augusta
The 2024 Masters week has begun, and Tiger Woods is already out on course practicing for the weekend. On Monday, Tiger Woods and Will Zalatoris were seen on the course doing a long-standing tradition on the 16th hole.
The par-3 16th hole has come to be known as a ‘skipping’ hole, where golfers attempt to skip their balls across the water during practice. The likes of Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth have pulled it off in the past. This year, Tiger Woods and Will Zalatoris decided to do it together during a practice round on Monday.
Tiger Woods will be playing at his first major tournament since withdrawing from the 2024 Genesis Invitational due to facing flu-like symptoms. Last year, Woods had to withdraw from the 2023 Masters due to ankle pain.
After undergoing surgery for the same, he was in rehabilitation for the rest of the year before making his comeback in December for the Hero World Challenge. Since then, Woods has targeted playing one tournament every month for the 2024 schedule.
However, after his withdrawal from the Genesis Invitational, he skipped tournaments such as the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players. Woods will not miss out on the Masters and has qualified due to his past wins in the Major.
