Tiger’s Return
As Tiger Woods prepares for a competitive comeback, he has painted a stark picture of his recent traumas. The 14-times major champion’s fourth surgery, a back fusion, has cured what Woods described on Tuesday as crippling pain. Nonetheless, and sensibly given the context, the 41-year-old has called for patience as a watching world wonders whether he can even partly replicate past glories. With his charity foundation a key beneficiary, Woods will play in the Hero World Challenge from Thursday. It will be his first competition appearance since early February and that lasted only 18 holes as injury took hold. Let’s not expect this comeback to be the true return of Tiger, as he seems to be realistic about his chances. He claims he just wants to get through Thursday and, if that’s goes ok, see if he can see out the tournament.
