‘Rejection’ from Tiger Woods inspires amateur Aaron Jarvis ahead of 2022 Masters

The best rejection of his life came at Augusta National on Sunday afternoon.

The 19-year-old noticed Tiger Woods on the course while playing a practice round. The amateur golfer made his move without hesitation.

I saw Tiger hop out in front of me. Tiger Woods has better rejection than any other person. I thought I would give it a shot, and I won the Latin America Amateur in January to get into the Masters.

Will they play when the Masters returns?

My shot is gone, it is harder to finish at Augusta National now.

I asked Mr. Woods if he could join us in the woods.

It was cool to see him play in front of me. After the round, we talked to him and his caddie for a while, and it was just incredible.

The five-time Masters champion told Jarvis to be himself, go out and have fun this week.

If you do the right preparation, everything will take care of itself.

Woods did not commit to play in this year's tournament as of Monday afternoon. Ahead of Thursday, he hopes to hear some good news.

For me, I hope he plays.

The game loves Tiger and you can see it everywhere you go. His decision is whether he plays or not. I hope he plays. Maybe I could play with him.
