Tiger Woods' TGL return brought electricity but didn't provide the answer to his Masters question

Tiger Woods' TGL return brought electricity but didn't provide the answer to his Masters question Dylan Dethier Tiger Woods has had many returns in his competitive career. Tiger has been “back” several times. There was the return in 2009 after surgery to repair a torn ACL.

In 2016, he came back to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge after a 15-month layoff following back surgery. He came back again at the 2017 Hero after taking several months off following a fourth microdiscectomy surgery on his back. The list goes on.

At 50, returning looks different for Tiger Woods now. But after spending over a year rehabbing from a ruptured Achilles’ tendon and undergoing a seventh back surgery in October, Woods returned to competitive golf on Tuesday during the TGL Finals at the SoFi Center as his Jupiter Links squad took on Los Angeles Golf Club.
