PGA Tour - Hero World Challenge
Tiger Woods makes his return in the Bahamas for the Hero World Challenge. The field is limited to 20 players, with 19 inside the top 40, along with Tiger.
It is Woods’ first event back since The Masters, where he withdrew after three rounds and shortly after had surgery to fuse his ankle.
Another PGA Tour member making his return is Will Zalatoris, who also hasn’t played since April. Zalatoris had microdiscectomy surgery to cure two herniated discs after withdrawing from The Masters.
Back in business 💪
After a season-ending injury, @WillZalatoris will be making his first competitive start since April.
