Tiger Woods Withdraws from Hero World Challenge

Tiger Woods faces uncertainty regarding his golfing future after withdrawing from the Hero World Challenge due to health issues stemming from a recent back surgery. Woods, who has not played since the Open Championship at Royal Troon, admitted he is 'not tournament sharp yet' and is struggling to compete at the highest level. He expressed disappointment over his inability to return to competitive play, emphasizing his focus on rehabilitation and gradual progress without setbacks. Additionally, Woods is heavily involved in PGA Tour business matters, serving on the board and engaging in negotiations with Saudi backers of LIV Golf, which may limit his playing time further. Despite the challenges, he remains hopeful about his recovery, stating he feels stronger and more flexible but acknowledges he has a long way to go. Fans remain anxious as Woods has not set a timetable for his return to golf.
