Woods confirmed he would be making his 24th appearance at the event earlier this week, and his fans will be hoping the five-times winner will be able to mark his comeback just 14 months after a life-threatening car crash with a fairytale win that would draw him level with the “Jack Nicklaus' record of six victories at Augusta.

- VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anomality as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
- As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
- Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
- When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, including VPN for Mac, VPN for Android smartphones, an iPad VPN, and even a range of fairly nifty free VPNs.
