Gulfstream jet:

Tiger’s yacht may be called “Privacy,” but there is literally nothing private about the way this man travels. Fans have tracked the 15-time major champion’s $20 million, 155-foot yacht for a few years now.

But things reached a new altitude on Tuesday morning when Tiger’s private jet was spotted heading toward Augusta.

Plane tail number:

If you’ve been living under a rock, perhaps you’ve missed the rampant speculation (read: fanboying/girling) over whether Tiger will tee it up in the Masters next week. To date, the speculation has been fueled largely by guesswork.

Early last week, the rumor mill centered upon the Masters website, where Tiger was still listed in the field. Then over the weekend, a Zapruder-style film leaked to social media of him teeing it up at the Medalist.

Plane:

Is Tiger Woods going to return to competitive golf at the Masters in two weeks?

The idea seems crazy, given that just 13 months ago he was in a car accident that nearly cost him a leg. And yet we keep seeing signs that suggest Woods is at least thinking about playing in the tournament he has won five times.

The latest sign is a flight tracker for Woods’ private jet that shows the plane heading toward Augusta nine days before the event.

Jet:

There had been speculation that he would compete in Wednesday’s Par-3 contest for fun. In addition, nobody would be surprised to see Woods at the Champions Dinner on the eve of the event.

But … If Tiger has no intention of playing in the Masters, why hasn’t he told Augusta National yet? And if Woods is planning to head to Georgia for a quick nine holes and dinner on Wednesday night before the event, why is he going up there this early?
