Tiger Woods is finally back! The golfer is back on course once again, after an 8 month long break. After missing the cut at St. Andrews last year, Woods took a well deserved break, before coming back without a cart. Woods is ready to be back in action, after a long time.
Talking about his journey and his readiness to perform at the Genesis Invitational, Woods said, “As far as the recovery, it’s more my ankle, whether I can recover from day to day. The leg is better than it was last year, but it’s my ankle. So being able to have it recover from day to day and meanwhile still stress it but have the recovery and also have the strength development at the same time.”
It has been two long years since Woods got into a car accident, and severely cut down his chances of playing a complete full Tour schedule again. However, he has fought through it all and is standing here, waiting to play at the Genesis Invitational.

“It’s gotten so much better the last couple months,” Woods said. “I’m excited to go out there and compete and play with these guys. And I would not have put myself out here if I didn’t think I could beat these guys and win the event. That’s my mentality. I am very rusty, but I’ve come off a rusty situation before and I’ve done well.”
Winning might be a far stretch for the legend, but anything can happen. The field during the tournament will have top 23 of the top 25 golfers in the world. This includes the likes of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler. and Jon Rahm. “The plan was to play [in the Genesis],” said Tiger Woods. “Whether or not this body would listen to me or not was the main question.”
“We’ve been pushing it pretty good and [was] able to recover each and every day, which is great. So I’m excited about being able to compete and play and play here at Riviera, where basically it all started,” said Woods, ready to be a part of the Series. All fellow golfers, fans and commentators alike are all ready to see Woods on the course once again.
