Woods and Mickelson were joined by Thomas Pieters and Fred Couples, who also practiced with Woods Monday and said, “Today wasn’t any different than it was 10 years ago when we played.”

Woods is playing in his first Masters since 2015. He played in one PGA Tour event combined from 2016 to 2017, but has returned to form and garnered two top-five finishes already this season.

Mickelson was Woods’ most natural rival during the first several years of the latter’s dominance. Mickelson didn’t win a major until breaking through at Augusta in 2004. He now has three green jackets after adding Masters wins in 2006 and 2010.

Combined with Woods’s four Masters titles and Couples’ win in 1992, the trio has eight green jackets to their names.

The famous Masters par-3 contest is Wednesday and the first round begins Thursday. Golf fans can hardly wait for this “tradition unlike any other.”

Tiger and Phil’s practice round should be televised ??

It happened. It really happened. I saw it and I still don’t believe it. I just saw 8 green jackets go off the 10th tee at Augusta National.
