Tiger says he would've been healthy for Masters this week

Tiger Woods says he has recovered "night and day" from a sore back that hindered his preparations for the now-postponed Masters and misses the Augusta National showdown while quarantined.

In an interview released Thursday by Woods sponsor GolfTV, the 15-time major champion said he is cycling more and playing tennis at times to stay fit and his back pain has eased.

"Night and day. I feel a lot better than I did then. I've been able to turn a negative into a positive," Woods said.

"I've been able to train a lot. I've been able to get my body back to where I think it should be at."
"Subconsciously, I had already known I was supposed to be getting ready to go to be playing at the Masters this week. My body was ready to go."
"Medalist is still open here. Every course virtually to the south of us is closed but it remains open so it has been nice to go out there and play and hit golf balls a little bit... just get some activity and some peace of mind."
"It's weird practicing with no end goal to get ready for," Woods said. "Hypothetically it could be this. Hypothectically it could be that. It seems like it changes from day to day. Week to week there's always something new."
