Tiger Woods, renowned for his achievements in golf, is set to return to the professional arena at the Hero World Challenge 2023. This will mark his first competitive play since his withdrawal from The Masters in April due to an injury. Woods, a winner of 15 majors and 82 PGA Tour titles, had to step back from the tournament during its third round at Augusta National, owing to significant pain in his right ankle. The event was his last professional appearance before undergoing a subtalar fusion surgery in May. The accident he suffered two years ago that resulted in severe leg injuries has been a significant factor in his recent career.
Tiger Woods, who has been focusing on his recovery, skipped the subsequent three major men’s golf championships. However, he remained connected to the sport, frequently seen at various golf events supporting his son Charlie, even taking on the role of his caddie at times. The Hero World Challenge, slated from November 30 to December 3 in Albany, Bahamas, will witness Woods’ comeback. The event has an impressive field, featuring 13 of the Top 20 golfers from the Official World Golf Ranking, including the current world leader, Scottie Scheffler, and the reigning champion, Viktor Hovland.
The tournament, which benefits the TGR Foundation, has a special significance for Woods as he will take on the role of the official host. His history with the event is remarkable, having secured five victories since its inception in 2000. Woods’ involvement in this tournament showcases his impact on the sport and his foundation’s commitment to developing future golf talents.
In addition to his participation in the Hero World Challenge 2023, Tiger Woods and his son Charlie are set to team up again for the PNC Championship in December. The father-son duo has previously graced this event three times and will appear in the upcoming tournament for the fourth time. The PNC Championship 2023, also known as the Father-Son challenge, is set to be held from December 14 to December 17, 2023, at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida with a total prize fund of US$1,000,000.
