Tiger Woods insists he wants to play in next month’s Masters despite getting his “ass kicked” on his return to action in the TGL Finals.

The 15-time major champion had back surgery last October, having been sidelined since The Open in the summer of 2024, but made his return as his Jupiter Links team were beaten in the final of the golf league co-founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy.
