Ever since the 150th Open Championship ended, everyone wanted to know when will Tiger Woods play an official event. However, after knowing he will play in the upcoming Hero Challenge and would possibly take part in the PNC Championship, the fans are curious whether he would play more!

Woods stopped playing full-time on the PGA Tour since he met with an accident in 2021. Yet, he played three majors this year. Videos and pictures of the healthy golfer caddying for his son, Charlie Woods, also lead his fans to believe that he is healthy enough to play in a couple of other events before 2022 ends.

“I really think there’s gonna be a rejuvenation of Tiger’s career, a little bit, because of Charlie,” the PGA Tour Champions golfer Brad Faxon revealed recently. According to him, Woods’ son would motivate his father as Woods once did for his mentor Mark O’Meara. 

Woods considered the Tour veteran Mark O’Meara as his mentor. He often used to play with him after he turned professional in 1996. Playing with the young golfer and watching his hard work and determination motivated O’Meara, after which he won the Masters and the British Open in 1998. 

Notably, they were the only majors O’Meara had won in his entire career. And he thanked Tiger Woods plenty of times for rejuvenating his career as a professional golfer.
