Tiger Woods 'trying everything' to play at the Masters
Tiger Woods insists he is "trying everything" to be able to play at the Masters at Augusta National next month.
Woods has not featured at a competitive event since a back injury forced him to withdraw from the Omega Dubai Desert Classic before the start of his second round on February 3.
But the 41-year-old, who has won the Masters on four occasions, is hoping to return in time for the first major championship of the year, which begins on April 6.
Sadly missing the 2017 API. I really wanted to be there. My best wishes to the Palmer family & everyone at Bay Hill. https://t.co/xkbvfohcxA

When asked whether he thinks he will get a chance to play at the Masters this year, Woods told Good Morning America: "God, I hope so.
"I'm trying. I'm trying everything extra to be able to get back and play.
"I love that event. It's meant so much to me in my life. It was the first major that I ever played, back in '95.

"It has so much history and meaning to me, I'd love to get back.
"I need to get back physically. I know that the mind is sharp, I just need to get the body willing to do it."
