Tiger Woods returned to golf at the Hero World Challenge in December, yet his appearance this week at the Farmers Insurance Open marks his first official US PGA Tour event in 17 months.
After going 16 months without teeing it up in a tournament, Tiger Woods plans to play four times during an early five-week stretch in 2017. What a difference a year makes.
The 2017 calendar is on the wall and the resolutions set (surely to be scuppered within weeks), but what’s in store for the year in golf? On the eve of the first US PGA Tour event of 2017, here are nine compelling questions with pending answers this season.
It’s official, Tiger Woods will make his 2017 US PGA Tour debut at the Farmers Insurance Open. The tournament, which runs from January 26-29, announced news of the 14-time major champ committing to the field this morning in a press release.
Does golf need Tiger Woods? It’s a question that’s asked often. But while the answer is debatable, one thing can’t be argued: the 14-time major champ’s presence certainly doesn’t hurt.
Though Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama claimed a two-shot win at the Bahamas, Woods marked his return to competitive golf with rounds of 73-65-70-76 – enough for a four-under-par total and 15th place at the 18-man Hero World Challenge.
