Tiger Woods is back in the spotlight this week.
In his latest comeback, the 15-time major champion is looking to make a big splash when he returns to competition this week at the 2023 Hero World Challenge at Albany in the Bahamas for his first appearance on the course since he withdrew from the 2023 Masters after he made the cut earlier this spring.
During Tuesday’s PGA Tour media event for the Hero World Challenge, Woods could be seen walking with a noticeable limp but he also looked incredibly jacked for a man who is nearing the age of 50.
On Thursday, Woods is scheduled to make his first start since the third round of the Masters in April at the Hero World Challenge. He hosts the tournament, which benefits his foundation.
During the press conference, Woods suggested that his improved health might allow him to play more competitive golf next year.
“I think that best scenario would be maybe a tournament a month,” Woods said. “I think that’s realistic. You would have to start with maybe at Genesis [Invitational] and something in March near the Players. … [The PGA Tour schedule] sets itself up for that. Now, I need to get myself ready for all that. I think this week is a big step in that direction.”
