Tiger Woods, the legendary golfer, has made a significant comeback, announcing his return to golf just six weeks after undergoing disc replacement surgery. In an exclusive interview with the PGA Tour at the Hero World Challenge, Woods revealed that he has been cleared to chip and putt, paving the way for his eventual return to competitive golf.
Despite facing recent injuries, including Achilles tendon repair, Woods expressed his enthusiasm to resume playing, although he acknowledged that it will take some time. "I'm probably going to play 25 events on both tours," he joked, but clarified that he's still a ways away from committing to such a schedule.
Woods and his son Charlie made headlines last year when they participated in the PNC Championship, where they lost in a playoff to Bernhard Langer. The father-son duo called their experience "the thrill of a lifetime" for Charlie, who had an unforgettable debut at the tournament, scoring his first eagle and ace on the front nine.
However, with Woods' recent surgery and subsequent recovery, there are concerns about his ability to compete in the TGL simulator league, which is set to begin later this month. The absence of Woods will significantly impact his team's chances, as well as that of other players who failed to retain their PGA Tour cards through the FedEx Fall season.
Woods himself remained tight-lipped on his plans for a competitive return, but emphasized his desire to play golf again in some capacity. With his 50th birthday approaching on December 30, it remains to be seen how soon he'll make a full-fledged comeback to professional golf.

. On the other hand, it's awesome that he's already cleared to chip and putt, that's a big deal! He's still got some work to do before getting back into competitive golf mode

dude, I'm hyped for Tiger's comeback! He's been through so much and still wants to give it another shot. I get that the TGL simulator league might be a bit of a gamble for him, but he's gonna have to do something special if he wants to come back in time for his 50th birthday 
. 25 events is ambitious tho, only time will tell if he's actually committed to playing that many or just messing with us 
. Still love seeing Charlie out on the course too, the future of golf looks bright 
, the dude's been through so much with all those injuries and surgeries, but he's still got that fire 
in him. i love how humble he is about it too, acknowledging it'll take some time before he gets back to competing. gotta respect that. and can you imagine having tiger as a teammate in a simulator league? 
that would be wild. fingers crossed he gets back on the course soon, especially since his son charlie is looking up to him 
. As a fan, it's thrilling to see Woods' dedication to the sport and his passion for sharing the experience with his son Charlie 
. Now, let's just hope he can make that 50th birthday a memorable one...
And what's with the TGL simulator league? Can't he just focus on getting back on the actual course before throwing himself into virtual golf? 
Also, 25 events in both tours? That sounds like an ambitious schedule for someone who's still recovering from injuries. Not saying it's impossible, but I think he should pace himself a bit more... 
He's been cleared to chip & putt already, which means he's getting closer to competing in some tournaments 
. And can u imagine the thrill of watching him compete with his son Charlie by his side?!
