The golf world is in a much better place now, ever since Tiger Woods posted his ‘making progress’ video.

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.

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!
