For those hoping to see Tiger Woods miraculously show up at the Masters Champion Dinner, sadly, it’s not going to happen. That doesn’t mean the five-time green jacket winner won’t be on the minds of those still attending, though.
Ahead of the Masters week tradition, held annually on the Tuesday night (Augusta time), the PGA Tour revealed the subtle but classy way Woods will be honoured during the meal.
Of course, it would be much better if Woods were actually there. But at least we know there will be future Masters Champions Dinners for the 15-time Major champ in the future after he survived a car accident in February in Los Angeles.
Woods is currently recovering at home and there’s no timetable on his return to professional golf. With the biggest week on the golf calendar on tap, he’ll be missed by fans and friends on tour. Here’s how Fred Couples is paying homage to Woods as well:

Well played, Freddie. Of course, if Tiger really wants to feel like he’s at Dustin Johnson’s dinner, he could always put some pigs in a blanket in the microwave.
