Paul McGinley Hopes Tiger Woods Returns to Action at The Masters
McIlroy can become just sixth player to complete the Grand Slam of all
four major titles with victory at Augusta next month, joining Woods,
Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus.Woods is without a
major since the 2008 US Open and hasn’t claimed a green jacket for a
decade, but the now world No 87 is still ‘hopeful’ of featuring in the
tournament he has previously won four times.
"Look what happened at the US PGA last year, all the talk was 'is Tiger going to play, is he not going to play?',” McGinley said. "At the time Rory was favourite, but all the expectation, all the talk, all you guys (the media) were focused on was Tiger.
"Rory didn't sneak in the back door, but he was able to go about his business without the attention on him. I do hope Tiger comes back, we all hope Tiger comes back. I don't know if he will or not, we'll have to wait and see."
