Former number one golf player 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 April 9.

Woods who is now ranked 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 tournament
Woods aged 39 years mentioned that he feels like he has to get his game into a spot where he could complete to win a golf tournament said the 39-year-old.

Woods has not won a major since the 2008 US Open and the last of his four Masters wins was a decade ago, with the Californian only confirming on Friday that he would compete at Augusta.

He impressed in his practice round on Monday, showing no signs of the chipping “yips” which blighted his performance in Phoenix. Woods completed the front nine at Augusta alongside long-time friend Mark O’Meara, before playing the 10th and 18th alone.
