Tiger: I can win Masters 'if everything comes together'

Tiger Woods may be a long shot to win his sixth green jacket, but he doesn't lack self-belief.

"If everything comes together, I think I can get one more," Woods told reporters Tuesday.

Woods won the Masters in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2019. Another victory at Augusta National would tie him with Jack Nicklaus for the most ever. At 48 years old, he'd also be the oldest player to ever win.

But Woods is also chasing another, more achievable record. If he reaches the weekend, he'll break the Masters record of 23 straight made cuts.

"It's consistency, it's longevity, and it's an understanding of how to play this golf course," Woods said of the streak. "That's one of the reasons why you see players that are in their 50s and 60s make cuts here. Or players in their late-40s have runs at winning the event."

He added that there are even shots he hit at Augusta in the 20th century still in the back of his mind when he plays the course today.

"I can still go into the mental Rolodex and bring out a few putts from the '90s that still move generally in that direction, and the effect that Rae's Creek has on certain shots and putts," he said.

Woods also discussed his upcoming playing schedule. At November's Hero World Challenge, he set a goal to play in one tournament a month in 2024. But that hasn't been the case, as he hasn't played in a PGA TOUR event since withdrawing from the second round of The Genesis Invitational in February.

"I wasn't ready to play. My body wasn't ready; my game wasn't ready," he said. "I thought when I was at (the Hero World Challenge), once a month would be a really nice rhythm. It hasn't worked out that way. But now we have major championships every month from here through July. Now the 'once a month' hopefully kicks in."

The PGA Championship is scheduled for May, the U.S. Open in June, and The Open in July.

Woods will begin his quest for history at Augusta at 1:24 p.m. ET on Thursday in a group with Jason Day and Max Homa.
