Tiger Woods is back for the Hero World Challenge as the event returns this week to Albany, Bahamas, from November 30 to December 3.
The tournament will feature a field of 20 of the world’s top golfers, including Woods himself, last year’s winner, Viktor Hoveland as well as Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas.
Tiger is making yet another comeback following continuous injury spells that have kept him from playing.
The most recent of which was a reoccurring plantar fasciitis issue which lead to further procedures and rehab.
The never-say-die attitude of arguably the greatest golfer to play the game is what will keep doubters from ruling out any further victories. He already proved he still has what it takes to win at the 2019 Masters.
Can he do it again?
The 5 time Hero World Challenge champion has hosted the event since 2000 and will be looking to use this event as a springboard for the 2024 season, claiming he hopes to play one event per month should health allow him to.
Much of the talk, aside from his return has been around his equipment.
