Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te mea kei te piki haere te whakapae mena ka whakataetae a Tiger Woods i te Masters i te marama e whai ake nei, kua whakakahoretia e te tangata tuatahi o te ao te tupono ki te purei i te Houston Open, te huihuinga whakamutunga o te PGA Tour i mua i te tuatahi o te tau. I kitea te ngaro o te ingoa o Woods i te rārangi o ngā kaitākaro mō te hui o Houston i te wiki e whai ake nei i tāngia i te Paraire. Mēnā ka whakatau a Woods ki te whakaeke i te Masters, ka tīmata i te 9 o Aperira, ka mahi ia i muri i te kore whakataetae mo nga ra 63. Ko Woods, te toa nui 14 nga wa, kua uaua ki te kimi i tetahi ahua i tenei tau. Ko te toa Masters e wha-wa, kua heke iho tana tohu ki te 96th, kua takaro a Woods i nga wa e rua anake i te 2014-15 PGA Tour a i kii ia kaore ia e hoki mai kia rite ra ano tana keemu ki te whakataetae. I ngaro ia i te Masters i te tau kua hipa mo te wa tuatahi i roto i tana mahi i muri i te tohutohu a nga taakuta ki a ia ki te mahi i te pokanga o muri, a, ko tana whai wāhi i te marama e whai ake nei, he tino raruraru i roto i tana pakanga mo te ahua me te hauora. I whakairihia e Woods te kaute teitei o tana umanga ngaio, he 11-i runga i te 82, kia ngaro i te tapahi i te Phoenix Open i te Hanuere, a he maha nga kaitohutohu e whakapono ana kei te raru ia i nga 'yips'. I mawehe atu ia i te Farmers Insurance Open i Torrey Pines i te tīmatanga o te marama kua hipa i muri i ngā poka 11 nā te kaha o tōna tuara, ā, kei te urutau tonu ia ki te huringa tuarima o tana mahi. I tēnei wā kei te noho kore a Woods i te hākinakina engari e whai ana ia kia eke ki te Ryder Cup 2016. I te tīmatanga o tēnei wiki, i whakatauria e te hoa pai o Woods, a Notah Begay III, ko ngā tūponotanga o te kaitākaro tuatahi o te ao ki te whai wāhi ki te Masters, he '50-50'. 'He 50-50 tonu te tupono i tenei wa mai i nga mea ka taea e au te korero,' e kii ana a Begay, he kaitohutohu pouaka whakaata me te Golf Channel i takaro tahi me Woods i te kapa poaka o te Whare Wananga o Stanford. 'He nui ake te tūponotanga i te mea, hei tauira, e toru wiki ki muri. E toru wiki ki muri, ka mea ahau, kotahi pea te tūponotanga ki te tekau kia tākaro ia ki Augusta.' Ko tētahi mea e pai ana ki a Woods, ko tōna āhuatanga whakamarie nui i Augusta National, i te tau 2010 i noho ia ki te tuawhā i te Masters i muri i te kore tākaro...
E rua noa iho ngā wā i tākaro ai a Tiger Woods i te PGA Tour 2014-15 nā te whara. I wehe atu a Woods i te Farmers Insurance Open i te tīmatanga o te marama kua hipa. Ko te tangata tuatahi o mua o te ao kua kite i tana whakatauranga kua heke ki te 96th.
