Tiger Woods: Let’s slow down with the comeback plaudits

Tiger Woods has compared the hype ahead of his first Masters appearance since 2015 to that which preceded his completion of the ‘Tiger Slam’.

But he cautioned against labelling his remarkable comeback the greatest of all time should he go on to win a fifth green jacket at Augusta National on Sunday.

Woods underwent spinal fusion surgery in April last year and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence the following month when he was found asleep at the wheel of his car.
