Ahead of Tiger Woods’ return to action in the Hero World Challenge, reports have emerged which states that the veteran golfer is set to feature in multiple tournaments next year. For most of 2023, Woods has been away from action due to injury concerns. In April, he suffered an ankle injury and underwent surgery and is now set to mark his return in the forthcoming Hero World Challenge Albany, Bahamas.
Thus, Woods is now looking to make up for the lost time and is targetting to play 5-6 tournaments in 2024. As per a post from NUCLR Golf on X, formerly Twitter, Taylor Zarzour confirmed that the legendary American golfer could play in “five to six regular tournaments” in 2024. One of the biggest reasons for Woods sounding so optimistic is that he cited the lack of pain while walking and, hence, is confident of more participation.
