Woods, who returned to competition last year on
a limited basis following a 2021 car crash which required
emergency surgery that still hampers his ability to walk,
announced his return to action with a short Twitter post on
Friday.
"I'm ready to play an ACTUAL PGA Tour event next week," Woods
wrote.
The Genesis Invitational, which is run by Woods' foundation, is
scheduled for Feb. 16-19.
Woods surprised the golf world when announcing he would play at
last year's Masters where he shot an opening-round 71 and made
the cut before fading to 47th place over the weekend as his leg
injuries took a toll.
Six weeks later the 15-times major champion withdrew from the
PGA Championship after carding a nine-over-par 79 in the third
round during which his surgically-repaired right leg appeared to
be causing him significant discomfort.
Woods then skipped the U.S. Open, the year's third major, so he
could focus on the British Open at St. Andrews where he finished
nine over par for his two rounds last July.
