Rory backs Tiger to roar

RORY MCILROY claims Tiger Woods will be a contender to win the Masters.

The Ulsterman and the American superstar tee up at the Valspar Championship today as they build towards the first Major of the season. Woods has only played 10 rounds in his latest comeback.

But Mcilroy said: “You would be silly not to put him as a contender. He knows how to get himself around there.”
