It's been a while since American golf legend Tiger Woods competed in a professional tournament. In his last appearance on the professional circuit, the 15-time Major championship winner was spotted playing at The Open Championship, where he scored 79-77 and missed the cut.
Since the conclusion of that tournament, Woods was recently spotted for the first time in public. On social media platform X, Sports Illustrated's Bob Harig posted a tweet in which he mentioned Woods' statement about not competing in the Hero World Challenge.
Harig's tweet read:
"Tiger is in public today for the first time since missing the cut in July at Royal Troon. Not playing the Hero tournament in the Bahamas. Had back surgery in Sept. "I'm not tournament sharp yet. I'm not tough enough to compete at this level."
