HE’S BACK.
Earlier this year, we received the shocking news that Tiger Woods had gotten into a horrible car wreck in Los Angeles, flipping his car over a railing, resulting in first responders having to use the “Jaws of Life” to get him out.
The wreck was horrendous, and the injuries he sustained required several surgeries.
Many were wondering if the guy would even be able to walk again, much less play golf. As many injury battles the man has gone through over his career, it appeared that his body simply wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.
However, we got some positive news a few weeks back, as a viral video circulated of Tiger hitting golf balls again.
In his first press conference back, he said that his career as a full-time golfer was probably over… although there was still hope that he would play in a few tournaments here and there.
And now, we finally have the great news that he will be playing in a tournament very soon.
According to ESPN, he will be playing in next week’s PNC Championship with his 12-year-old son Charlie.
He had this to say about playing in the PGA player-family member event:
“Although it’s been a long and challenging year, I am very excited to close it out by competing in the PNC Championship with my son Charlie.
I’m playing as a Dad and couldn’t be more excited and proud.”
Alastair Johnson of IMG, the tournament chairman for the PNC Championship, added:
“We have been liaising with Tiger and his team for some time and are delighted that he has now decided to make his return to competitive golf at the PNC Championship.”
The 36-hole captains choice tournament begins December 18th.
Tiger and his son finished 7th in the tournament last year.
