The former number one golfer, Tiger Woods, had to withdraw from the Hero World Challenge last year. Due to plantar fasciitis on his right foot, he could not walk enough to play golf. Therefore, he only focused on his hosting duties. Forwarding to PNC Championship in December last year, he played with his son Charlie. Fans were waiting for ‘The Match,’ he also played but could not win. Therefore, Woods has been going through a slump since his single-car accident in February 2021.

However, after the PNC Championship, he was in immense pain owing to his injured leg. Therefore, he took a break. However, he might return to play at The Genesis in February. For a long time, fans have been waiting to see Woods back in his form; the way he was in the 2000s. But will he make it to the event? Will he play? Only time will tell. However, his loving fans have their POVs about it. Let’s find out what they believe.
Is the golf world ready for Tiger Woods in 2023?
The 15-times major championship winner will host the Genesis Invitational at The Riviera Country Club. World’s best golfers will compete at the prestigious event in Los Angeles from February 16-19. TWLEGION’s new tweet about the G.O.A.T. golfer piqued the fans’ interest. They said, “It remains to be seen if Tiger will be ready to compete at The Genesis in one month’s time. It was believed to be his target event before the plantar fasciitis came about. Have heard that Tiger has practiced following the holidays. Will be interesting to see if he’s ready.”
According to Jack Hirsh of GOLF, The Genesis Invitational was the goal event for him to return to the competitive games after the Hero World Challenge. He said, “Woods could reasonably choose to shut everything down again after the PNC until the Masters.” which was true. We have not seen the pro golfer on the golf course after the PNC Championship in December. But will he play at The Genesis Invitational, or will we wait for more? We have yet to find out.
However, his fans are excited for him to be back at regular events. They have waited long enough, and they cannot wait anymore. “Would be so great to see him play a regular tour event? Get some competitive reps before majors.” Focusing on Masters, his fans want him to get his competitive edge back before he hits the ground of Augusta International this year.
Let’s find out what his fans think about his return to the game.

If he's not ready, that's okay. My prediction was a return at The Players leading into Augusta.

I'd rather he wait until The Players. The cold weather at Genesis is brutal on him. But he's stubborn as fuck lol
