Couples to play practice round with Woods before Masters

Fred Couples told the GOLF Channel on Thursday that he will play a practice round with Tiger Woods on the Monday of Masters week.

Woods is scheduled to meet with the press that same day, April 5 at 2pm. This will be the first time Woods will face a feeding frenzy of media for an extended period.

"I am looking forward to seeing Tiger and playing with him and having a good time," Couples, who captained the U.S. to a Presidents Cup win last year, said in a GOLF Channel interview.

Earlier in the week, Mark O'Meara said he would play a practice round with Woods during the week of the Masters.

Couples and O'Meara are both former Masters winners. Woods has won the Masters four times, most recently in 2005.

Cheers,
