Tiger Woods commits to playing in the Hero World Challenge

Tiger Woods says he will play in the Hero World Challenge at Albany in the Bahamas on December 1, which features a field of 18 players and benefits his foundation.

“I am excited to make my return at the Hero World Challenge at Albany and play in this terrific tournament,” Woods said in a press release.

Early last month, Wood committed but then withdrew from the PGA Tour’s season-opener, the Safeway Open, citing a “vulnerable” golf game. He hasn’t played in a competitive event since the Wyndham Championship in August 2015, where he finished 10th.

Questions remain about the state of Woods’ game, with rumors that chipping yips and lingering health concerns are still a factor (Woods has undergone three back surgeries since March 2014). Also, there is still heavy speculation by GolfWRXers about what equipment he will play upon his return. Join the conversation here.

What clubs will he play? How will he play? Will he play? Those answers will have to wait for now.

Who cares about which clubs he’s playing. I want to know what brand of underwear he’s sporting. Sincerely, I wish him well when he comes back. I’ve known chipping yips and can relate.

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
