CBS Sports broadcaster Jim Nantz, who has worked the tournament for 33 years, told reporters last week that Woods' return has made 2018 "probably the most anticipated Masters any of us have seen in our lifetime". To prevent another PR-firestorm like the one that tarnished the clean reputation of the most prominent name in professional golf and exposed him as a sex-addicted adulterer years before, Woods offered Smith an undisclosed amount of money to sign an NDA to and keep quiet about the specifics of them ending their relationship.

The Masters is just four days away and once again much of the attention will center on the fate of golf legend Tiger Woods and his attempt to capture his first major since 2008. Bubba Watson, twice a Masters champ, won at Riviera and in last week's WGC Match play.

Then suddenly Woods grabbed the spotlight as only he can, announcing his return to form with three impressive results - 12th at the Honda Classic, a tie for second at the Valspar Championship and a tie for fifth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Just like always, Woods walked up the stairs to the locker room reserved for Masters champions.

I'm excited to tune in to the Masters every spring and have even had the opportunity to walk the grounds a couple of times.

With a Green Jacket safely in his Augusta locker, he can look back fondly on his final-round drama from 11 to 13 - golf's most famous stretch of holes.

However, in an interview with the Guardian, the 28-year-old said: "No one is owed anything, due anything".

"I would like to be in contention, like to be on the leaderboard and have a chance on Sunday to win the trophy - or the green jacket in this case".

The tournament is loved by golf fans across the world and for many players has a magic that no other tournament can replicate.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G and 4G (with support for Band 40 used by some LTE networks in India). The phone will also have a dual camera setup utilizing a 13MP and 2MP sensor on the rear and an 8MP front-facing camera.

But oddsmakers and pros, such as 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott, believe it could happen this week at the Masters, which starts Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club. "I feel pretty good about it but I'm not quite there yet".

Can he win? It seems like such an absurd thought considering where Woods was even a year ago.

"I've been better with each week I've competed, a little more crisp", he said.

Woods is playing in his first Masters since 2015, where he placed 17.

"If he's playing, you know he's going to be up there as a favorite, especially in Augusta", Thomas said.

"I'm not retired. Watching the guys and hearing their excitement about playing was hard", he said.

Tirico also shared wisdom on where ticket-holders should watch from on the course, and it might not be the spot you'd think of first: It's to the right of the green on No. 3. "I feel like I'm physically able to do it again".

"It is just ridiculous that we can show them hundreds and thousands of testings with robots and projectile guns that we're the best ball, the most accurate ball".

"Why? There's nothing you can do about it", he said.
