Woods made an April Fools joke about playing in the tournament, but the five-time Masters champion will not be competing for a Green Jacket this year.

Tiger Woods, who has won the Masters Tournament five times, will not be playing this year. While all previous champions are invited to compete in the tournament as long as they choose to, Woods will not be teeing up this year.
