Tiger Woods could jump over 1,000 spots in the Official World Golf Rankings as he prepares for his return to competition. Woods will make a return after five months away to compete at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, an event he himself hosts.
The limited-field event will see 20 of the world's best golfers take to the Albany course in the Caribbean, with golfing great Woods headlining. The outing will be Woods' first since returning to St Andrews for the Open Championship in July.
Woods has played just three events this year - The Open, the PGA Championship and The Masters - after confirming his career would now be a part-time one due to the effects of injuries sustained in a car crash in February 2021.
