Tiger Woods will compete at the Hero World Challenge later this month.
He announced his presence at the tournament, which will take place November 30-December. 3 at Albany, Bahamas, on Saturday on his social media accounts.
He will be making his first PGA Tour start since ankle surgery last spring.
Woods, an 82-time winner, hosts the 20-player tournament. He also announced Saturday that waivers Justin Rose and Lucas Glover will be in the field.
Woods’ tournament play has been limited since he suffered serious leg injuries in a single-car accident in Southern California in February 2021.
He has spent more time on the golf course recently, including as a spectator, and recent reports said he was back to practice. He walked the course and played a turn for his son, Charlie, at the Notah Begay III National Junior Golf Championship in September. Charlie won the title in his age group.
The elder Woods has not played in a PGA Tour event since the Masters in April, one of five events since the accident. At Augusta National, he withdrew after two rounds due to plantar fasciitis.
Glover and Rose will replace Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele in the Bahamas exclusive.
