4 Takeaways from the Hero
A Tiger is Lurking yet Again
Today is an exciting day in the golf world. Because today is filled with anticipation.
Your head only has to hit the pillow one more time before the greatest golfer (by far) this generation has ever seen, tees it up again in a professional tournament after a long, uncertain hiatus.
And considering where Tiger Woods was with his injured back following multiple surgeries, it was difficult for even the most loyal fans to maintain faith in his comeback. Especially after reports of him having a difficult time standing for extended periods, let alone swinging a golf club.
And anyone who has had back trouble knew that it was possible that Tiger’s ride just might be over with his sunset setting far too soon.
But the curtain hasn’t closed just yet. The Big Cat is back and swinging “pain free.”
So feel free to get excited!
Tiger played a pain-free practice round today at the site of this week’s Hero World Challenge. “The fact that I don’t have any pain in my lower back…it’s just remarkable,” Woods said.More details: http://glfdig.st/fdSgnfH (🎥: Instagram/TGRLiveEvents)

“The fact that I don’t have any pain in my lower back…it’s just remarkable,” Woods said.
Tomorrow, Tiger will tee it up in the Hero World Challenge with many of the top players in the game, some of whom were in diapers when Tiger made his PGA Tour debut.
And what do these young stars think of his game?
When Rickie Fowler was asked after a practice round at The Medalist whether or not Tiger was hitting it by him, Rickie said, “Oh yeah. Way by.”
