The golf world is in a much better place now, ever since Tiger Woods posted his ‘making progress’ video. Woods has teased fans about a comeback with a similar post in the past, and the same can be expected this time around too. There is a massive buzz around the 45-year-old’s return to professional golf but is there a solid timeframe for his comeback?
Is Tiger Woods playing the 2021 PNC Championship?
A few days ago, Tiger Woods posted a three-second video on Twitter that blew up like wildfire. In that video, Woods was taking a swing with his 7 iron, and captioned it “making progress.” This bit of surety is what Tiger’s loyal fans wanted. That the 15-time major winner is grinding hard to get back on the tour again.

However, there is still a long way to go for Tiger Woods in terms of getting tour-fit. However, is Woods recovering at a pace fast enough to get him back to competing in a fortnight or so? This speculation has arisen due to a major factor.
The 2021 PNC Championship is right around the corner, and Tiger Woods played the event with his son Charlie last year. It was a wonderful sight to see Tiger and Charlie competing as a team and fans want it to happen this year as well.
However, given Woods’ injuries, a return to golf by December 17 seems far-fetched. But why is there a lot of buzz around his appearance at the PNC Championship? Well, it’s because Justin Thomas hinted that Woods might consider playing the PNC provided he gets a cart to drive through the course.
Furthermore, the PNC Championship promoted a video with Tiger and Charlie in the backdrop, and that created all the more reasons for people to speculate.
This could mean absolutely nothing but for what it’s worth, PNC is running a promoted tweet that shows TW & Charlie exclusively with this year’s dates. Again probably nothing but it only appeared after the swing vid apparently pic.twitter.com/jiuo1lHnlD
