Woods can reunite in the golf arena at the end of the year

“So excited to welcome more players to the roster for this year’s Hero World Challenge in Albany,” Woods tweeted via his own account with information about the tournament on August 2.

However, the direct presence of “Super Tiger” is still open because it is still in the process of recovering from an injury – breaking his right leg due to a traffic accident in February.

On July 29, Woods showed up in Los Angeles with positive signs – wearing socks on his injured leg, walking on crutches on his own outside a hotel in the Beverly Hills area.

Earlier, junior colleague Rickie Fowler, after a visit to his home, said Woods’ situation was progressing well.

Hero World Challenge has been on the PGA Tour program since 2000, of which Woods has chaired every year. Although not officially classified, it is picky on the list of matches, still calculating points on the world professional golf rankings (OWGR). The income from the event serves the activities of the charity organization TGR founded by Woods. He has won this award five times, when he held the Hero World Challenge.

Last year, the tournament was expected to gather 18 golfers, but was canceled because of Covid-19. This year from December 3-5, Hero World Challenge is still playing at Albany Stadium in the Bahamas with a $3.5 million prize fund bringing together 20 players. This number has eight major champions this year and last year, the defending champion The Players Championship – the PGA Tour key event, the rest are in the top 50 OWGR.
