There is a massive buzz around the 45-year-old’s return to professional golf but is there a solid timeframe for his comeback?

Is Tiger Woods playing the 2021 PNC Championship?

A few days ago, Tiger Woods posted a three-second video on Twitter that blew up like wildfire. In that video, Woods was taking a swing with his 7 iron, and captioned it “making progress.” This bit of surety is what Tiger’s loyal fans wanted. That the 15-time major winner is grinding hard to get back on the tour again. 

However, there is still a long way to go for Tiger Woods in terms of getting tour-fit. However, is Woods recovering at a pace fast enough to get him back to competing in a fortnight or so? This speculation has arisen due to a major factor. 

The 2021 PNC Championship is right around the corner, and Tiger Woods played the event with his son Charlie last year. It was a wonderful sight to see Tiger and Charlie competing as a team and fans want it to happen this year as well.

However, given Woods’ injuries, a return to golf by December 17 seems far-fetched. But why is there a lot of buzz around his appearance at the PNC Championship? Well, it’s because Justin Thomas hinted that Woods might consider playing the PNC provided he gets a cart to drive through the course.

Furthermore, the PNC Championship promoted a video with Tiger and Charlie in the backdrop, and that created all the more reasons for people to speculate.

However, it is 99% certain that Tiger Woods won’t be playing at the 2021 PNC Championship this December. Well, if he does, that is a different beast!
