If golf just wasn’t enough interesting for you without Tiger Woods in the mix, then we have some great news. Tiger Woods announced on Monday that he will finally make a return to competitive golf, after being injured for better part of 2017. He will make an appearance on Hero World Challenge which is scheduled to take place from November 30 to December 3.
“I am excited to return to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge,” – Woods said in a statement. “Albany is the perfect setting and it will be great to join this outstanding field. I want to thank Pawan Munjal and Hero MotoCorp for their continued support of this tournament and my foundation. I would also like to thank the fans for their unwavering support during my injury.“
This announcement comes just a month after Woods said he may not play golf again. Speaking ahead of the President Cup in September, Woods said he was focused on his health and unsure about the future.
Numerous injuries spoiled the career of Tiger Woods in the recent years. He had four back surgeries in the last three years and didn’t participate in a Major Championship in the last two years. After not participating in golf competition for 15 months, Woods returned in 2016 at the Hero World Challenge. He played in 2 more tournaments before having a back surgery in April. It was believed that Woods won’t play competitive golf in 2017, but it looks like his recovery is going better than expected.
Woods recently also had some legal issues. He was arrested back in May when a police officer found him sleeping in his car and being under influence of alcohol or drugs. In October, Woods pleaded guilty for the incident and received one-year probation. If he violates the probation, Woods will have to spend 90 days in jail.
