Tiger Woods announces return to golf at 2017 Hero World Challenge in November

Tiger Woods announced on Monday that he will officially make his return to professional golf in late November at his own charity's event, the 2017 Hero World Challenge.

 

Woods, who has not played competitive golf in nine months and was just recently given the all-clear by his doctor to play, is a five-time winner of the event and will compete along with 17 of his peers from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3 in Albany, Bahamas. His announcement came, hilariously, from a committee of one.

 

"I am excited to return to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge," Woods said in an announcement. "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."

 

Joining Woods in the loaded field are Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Brooks Koepka, Matt Kuchar, Justin Rose, Alex Noren, Marc Leishman, Tommy Fleetwood, Francesco Molinari, Patrick Reed, Charley Hoffman, Kevin Kisner and Daniel Berger.

 

Woods withdrew from the Desert Dubai Classic after one round at the beginning of 2017. He shot a 77 in the first round, and he has not played a round on either the European Tour or PGA Tour since. He underwent his fourth back procedure in April, a fusion surgery that he said alleviated him of a lot of pain in his body.

This is great for golf, Tiger sure does move the needle. I hope he can finish this tournament. One of, if not the greatest ever, to play the game.

nice!

 

i'd love to see him get back to his earlier days of winning every tournament. His body is not the same as it was 15yrs ago, though. If he can stay healthy through a single season, it'd be a miracle.

Glad to see he's still trying to make a comeback and hopefully the latest surgery is a success.  I was bummed when he pulled out of 2017 and I wasn't able to see him at Erin Hills.

He's definitely the reason I became interested in playing golf when I was younger.

I think many of us would love to see that, being realistic I just hope he can finish a tournament and do so with zero to little pain.

Same here, I loved watching every Sunday with my dad. If Tiger was wearing red, you knew he was going to put on a show. He made golf "cool" for many kids growing up and helped give inspiration to many minorities.

Tiger always wears red on Sunday when he's in a tournament. No matter what.

Tiger is looking like the old big cat! He has looked impressive these two rounds, he is swinging the club freely and doesn't seem to be wincing after every shot. I hope he can go through the weekend and recover for the next tournament.

    • 99% of Control Panel will be moved to Settings. Then by 2050, 20% of settings will have been moved to the Configuration Menu. I have no issues with Settings as it exists now in Windows 11. Bring everything over and be done with it.
    • We collect the few carcasses we get (as long as drivers report them, as they should) and while we have our fair share, we don't have nearly enough crashes with deer "to paint the roads with deer carcasses" in Finland. Also, if you can't handle the risks, DO NOT DRIVE. I really don't want everything to be so simple and stupid, that I don't have to worry about my surroundings (I also hate Apple devices because they kind of decide everything for you and offer very little customization vs. Android). Most people probably encounter much higher risks and dangers in their daily jobs than they encounter on roads. Just a few weeks ago I twisted my anckle at work while walking and I haven't had even a near miss with an animal in traffic for many years despite driving something like 27000+ km/year (there were a couple of off years in there too) and seeing many deer, a few moose and many smaller creatures on the road. I find it extremely rare to have deer stumble directly in front of me - it happens, but in my opinion not nearly enough to warrant considering it super dangerous (I actually find it exhilarating when it does happen as it changes the daily commute and it actually requires me to stay focused). It is probably more common to have some idiot with their face glued to their phone wonder in front of you or a kid on an electric scooter disregard all traffic rules. Here in the Nordics we also have plenty of snow and that kind of f's up anything that relies on lines or other clear lane indicators. The one time I have (kind of) started raging while driving was when I had a loan car from service and it had lane guidance. That freaking thing basically felt like it wanted to hit every pothole and bump it could and I really, really freaking hated it (came close to ripping the whole steering wheel of, I tell you . Didn't feel safer at all, quite the contrary, and it distracted me from the road more than anything else I've driven before, constantly fighting that f'ing thing to go where I wanted it to go (no clear lines, a crack in the pavement, etc. and it became confused as hell and required more adjusting than any traditional car). Also noteworthy that globally the amount of people with driver's licenses is pretty low (like under 20 %), many countries have great public transport systems and many walk and cycle (even during the winter).
    • The snipping tool has come a long way. Every feature they add reduces the need for third-party utilities; in the past it seemed MS shied away from adding features to some in-box tools just so there would be a more robust third-party developer base. Now that we finally have boxes, circles and arrows, can they finally add text bubbles?
    • It's a custom built linear internal power supply which is isolated from the mainboard, it is very clean. External switching PSUs can be noisy and send that noise to the components. Linear external power supplies are expensive for good ones and are rare to see included with a device hence why they are sold optionally.
