Tiger Woods has finally confirmed his return to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge, after much speculation about when he would make a comeback. The tournament will take place from November 30th to December 3rd in Albany, Bahamas. The announcement was made via a tweet from TGR Live, which stated, “Tournament host @TigerWoods to play in the 2023 #HeroWorldChallenge. He is joined by exemptions @JustinRose99 and @LucasGlover to round out the field of 20 set to compete at Albany, Bahamas Nov. 30 – Dec. 3.” This ends the uncertainty surrounding Woods’ return to the sport.
This news comes after Woods has been absent from the competitive scene since his forced withdrawal from the Masters in April due to a plantar fasciitis injury, which later required surgery. However, he has recently been seen hitting golf balls at the Hero World Challenge venue, sparking speculation about his imminent return. Additionally, he was spotted caddying for his son, Charlie, walking freely and fueling further rumors of his readiness to compete again.
The Hero World Challenge is an invite-only event hosted by Woods and features 20 of the top players in the game. The tournament had already announced 19 of the participants, leaving just one space to be filled, which is now confirmed to be Woods. This marks a highly anticipated comeback for the 15-time Major winner, and fans and players alike are excited to see him back on the course. With his return to competitive action confirmed, golf enthusiasts can look forward to witnessing Woods in action at the Hero World Challenge.
