The 2023 edition of the Hero World Challenge is finally underway! And battling it out on the greens was none other than Tiger Woods among the list of 20 top golfers in the world. However, he couldn’t pull off the first round of his comeback how he envisioned, as the golfer himself was spotted opening up about the same a little while back.

Nevertheless, despite a not-so-favorable first round on Thursday, the professional will be looking to put up a better performance in the coming days. The next step that would entail would be round 2. And, with so much at stake for the Hall of Famer, it’s natural for his fans to be wondering when he will tee off on Friday!

The 82X PGA Tour champ made his much-awaited comeback in the Bahamas. However, he could only finish 18th following the first round after a sub-par performance of 75(+3). But never fear, as the Florida native would be looking to rectify it on the second day at the Albany Golf Course.

The 15X major champ was paired off with his friend Justin Thomas, who saw himself finishing at T8 on the first day. However, the 47-year-old would tee off against a different golfer during the second round of the tournament, none other than the 6X PGA Tour winner Rickie Fowler 

The duo would start their battle at 11:02 on December 1 in the second match of the event on Friday. Woods would be looking to better his position on the scoreboard for his long-celebrated return to the greens while Fowler, a place above the legend at T17, would also look to get back on his feet and take control of his momentum that helped him win the Rocket Mortgage Classic earlier this year.
