The wait is finally over.
It has been 15 months and two back surgeries since Tiger Woods’ last competitive round.
But on Thursday afternoon, the 40-year-old 14-time major champion will attempt to reclaim at least some semblance of his former glory at the Hero World Challenge.
Woods is scheduled to tee off at noon ET and will be paired with Ryder Cup hero Patrick Reed for comeback number…well, who’s really counting anymore?
Most have already come to the realization that Woods’ game will never again reach a level even remotely close to the dominant form he displayed from 1999–2008.
