The Hero World Challenge has surely increased the hype in the golfing community to its peak. Moreover, duking it out against the elite list of golfers is none other than Tiger Woods, one of the legends of the game. Although his first round did not go the way he envisioned it to, he did fare much better on the second day.
Despite a sub-par performance on the first day followed by a comparatively better one on the second, Mr. T would be hoping to come out guns-a-blazing on the weekend. However, with so much on the shoulders of the 82X PGA Tour champ, his fans would be extremely curious about step 3 to his comeback – none other than his appearance on the Moving Day!

The 15X major champ was able to push himself up the leaderboard on the second day after a not-so-favorable start to his comeback. Moreover, he finished 15th following the Friday round after registering a score of 2-under 70, a much better performance than the previous day at the Albany Golf course.

The 1997 Masters Tournament champ teed it off against Rickie Fowler who saw himself finishing at T14, a spot above the iconic golfer. However, the golfer would be facing a different athlete on the greens as opposed to Fowler, or Justin Thomas, whom he was paired up with on R1, during the penultimate round of the Hero World Challenge, the 26-year-old Viktor Hovland.
Fresh off a runner-up position at the DP World Tour Championship, the Norwegian would be hoping to get back his momentum and increase his T16 position to propel himself up the scoreboard. Moreover, Woods would also be looking to end his comeback in style as he would see himself tee off against the 2023 TOUR Championship winner at 11:43 A.M. ET in the third pair-up of the day on Saturday, December 2.

Well, that satiates the curiosity surrounding the Hall of Famer. However, what about the rest of the field including the world No.1 golfer Scottie Scheffler who is currently in the same position in the leaderboard as he is on the OWGR?
