It’s been more than half a year since Tiger Woods last played competitive golf, something that’s been a rare sight since his car crash nearly two years ago to the day.
“If I’m playing, I’m playing to win,” Woods said Tuesday.
Woods is playing in the Genesis Invitational this week at Riviera Country Club, marking his first official event since the British Open last July. Woods was going to be at the course this week anyway, as his foundation has hosted the PGA Tour event for years.
Five back surgeries.
A near-fatal car accident.
Planter fasciitis.
None of that matters.
Tiger Woods is playing the Genesis Invitational, and he’s playing to win.
