Tiger Woods in a red shirt on a Tuesday night and swinging a golf club again – what’s not to like? Woods is playing his first competitive golf – video golf but we’ll take it – in 684 days, dating to the 2024 British Open, for Jupiter Links Golf Club in Game 2 of TGL Finals at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt asked Tiger when he knew he was ready to play in TGL after missing the entire season?
“Probably yesterday,” he said. Tiger was a spectator on Monday when Jupiter Links dropped the first match to L. A.
Golf Club 6-5. He benched Kevin Kisner and inserted himself into the lineup. “I just want to be a part of it,” he said.
Tiger underwent an L4-L5 disc replacement surgery on his lumbar spine in October. He also had surgery on his Achille’s Heel last March. No mention of the playing in the Masters in two weeks.
