‘Golf Emperor’ Tiger Woods (USA) returns to the field.
Woods announced on his social network service (SNS) on the 11th (local time) that he was “ready to participate in the PGA Tour next week.” It is the first time Woods has participated in a tour event in seven months since the Open in July last year. Including event competitions, this is his first appearance in two months since the PNC Championship last December.
The Genesis Invitational (total prize money of 20 million dollars), which attracted more attention due to Woods’ comeback match, will be held at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, USA from the 16th. This tournament is one of the ‘special events’ designated by the PGA Tour. 토토사이트
Woods only competed in select competitions after severely injuring his leg in a car accident in February 2021. After going out with his son Charlie in the PNC Championship, an event that his family participates in, in December of that year, he only appeared in three major tournaments last year, including the Masters in April, the PGA Championship in May, and the Open in July.
Woods was scheduled to participate in the Hero World Challenge hosted by his foundation in early December of last year, but withdrew his plan due to pain in the sole of his right foot. He later participated in the open event ‘The Match’ and the PNC Championship, but was not in perfect shape.
Woods once said, “In 2023, my goal is to go to one or two more tournaments besides the majors.” The Genesis Invitational, hosted by her foundation, became her first competition this year.
