Tiger Woods Prepares For His Return

Tiger Woods revealed recently that he is ready to return to competitive golf following his recovery from his back injuries. He said it felt good to be competing again.

Woods is recovering from back injuries that prevented him from competing since August. His recovery gave him the opportunity to increase his practice sessions. He is hoping to benefit from these sessions when he returns to competitive golf. He added that he is getting stronger and getting his game ready for the coming year.

Woods ended his season last March 31 due to a back surgery. He re-injured his back in August.

Woods said he is working on his game prior to the Hero World Challenge, an annual tournament he organized to raise funds for his Tiger Woods Foundation. He is also preparing to return to the PGA Tour in the coming year.

Woods was limited to eight competitive golf tournaments in 2014 before he went through a surgery for a disk issue that compelled him to miss the US Open and Masters. He also missed the PGA Championship after he missed the cut. He said he was not able to practice much for the last year-and-a-half. He added he was not able to practice as much as he wanted to, which became evident during the year.

Woods recently revealed that he was working on his swing with Chris Como. He indicated that he was excited on his upcoming return to competitive golf. He said he was happy to work on his swing with Chris.

He has gone through three swing coaches in his career that resulted to 14 majors. His most recent coach, Sean Foley, was dismissed after he was not able to win any major during in last three years. The Hero World Challenge of Tiger Woods is set to be held at Isleworth, Florida starting Thursday.
