Tuesday morning, Tiger Woods made official the possibility that had the golf world buzzing for a week or more: After suffering serious injuries in a car accident 14 months ago, he intends to return to competitive golf at the 2022 Masters, which begins Thursday.

Woods, the 15-time major champion, has an outsize impact on whatever field he enters — and that includes at Augusta National Golf Club, where he has won five times. He is 46 and trying to compete on a right leg that suffered compound fractures in the single-car wreck in February 2021 — yet he said during a news conference at Augusta on Tuesday that he comes here intending to win.

I’m in Augusta for the tournament, which will be Woods’s 24th appearance here, so I was happy to take questions on his chances. And there are 90 other competitors, many of them with interesting storylines of their own. Here are some of the questions I answered:

• How much of a Tiger circus is it on the grounds of Augusta National?
• What’s your opinion of Rory McIlroy’s chances this weekend?
• How will changes to pivotal holes on the course impact the tournament?
