Anticipation for the 2022 Masters Tournament grew several magnitudes on Tuesday when the Tiger Woods announced he would be playing in the tournament just over a year after he was involved in a major car crash that required months of rehab for his legs.
Paul Casey, the English golfer who finished in a tie for fourth at the Masters in 2016, has withdrawn with back trouble. “The back issues are persistent and thus preventing me from being able to compete,” Casey wrote on Instagram after he withdrew before his first tee shot of the day.
