Golf great Tiger Woods is making a much-awaited comeback with the Hero World Challenge this week and he is both curious and excited to see how his ageing and injury battered body could tackle the task.
The 15-time major winner will be teeing off for the first time since withdrawing from the Masters after the first two rounds in April.
The American had a subtalar fusion surgery on his right ankle two weeks after his withdrawal to deal with the arthritis caused by injuries suffered in a major car accident in 2021.
The 47-year-old, who has been playing professional golf for more than 25 years, still loves to compete and has arrived at Albany with an aim to win the tournament he hosts.
“I love competing. I love playing. I miss being out here with the guys … and the overall banter,” Woods said at the media interaction while sitting alongside Hero MotoCorp executive chairman Pawan Munjal.
“What drives me is that I love to compete. There will come a point in time, I haven’t come around to it fully yet, where I won’t be able to win again … when it comes, I will walk away,” he said.
When asked if he can win again, Woods said: “absolutely.”
Woods has chosen this tournament as his comeback event for the third time, considering it acts as a springboard for the following PGA Tour season. He is targeting competing in one tournament a month. On walking the course over four days, Woods sounded confident of lasting the distance.
