Three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson believes that former world number one Tiger Woods will be all set to produce a 'sharp' game in the Masters at Augusta, which starts on Thursday.

Earlier in the week, Woods ended his self-imposed two-month sabbatical from the game by confirming that he would play in the Masters.

Reflecting on Woods' decision to play at Augusta, Mickelson said that he didn't think anybody would miss it if they were in it, if they were physically able to play.

The 14-time major champion withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in February, his second start of the season, because of tightness in his back , stating that he was taking an indefinite break from the professional game.

 

Mickelson further said that it is going to be an easy fix as Woods has had such a good short game and a great game throughout his career, insisting that his game would be sharp, Sport24 reported.

Woods has failed to win a major in seven years, since the US Open in 2008.
