Tiger Woods is set to make his long-awaited return to competitive golf at the PGA Tour's Safeway Open, which starts Oct. 13.
GolfChannel.com's Ryan Lavner was among the first to report that Woods will make his 2016 debut at Silverado Country Club in Napa, California. ESPN.com's Bob Harig confirmed the news.
Woods previously sent the golf world into a tizzy when he announced his intention to make an October return after missing more than a year due to lingering back problems. His last start, which resulted in a 10th-place finish, came last August at the Wyndham Championship.
