Tiger Woods made a comeback to professional golf at the 2022 Masters last week. Moreover, this was his first professional competitive golf tournament after around 17 months, as he suffered multiple injuries in his solo car crash in February 2021. Hence, this is nothing less than a miracle that we are seeing him back competing at the highest level.

Moreover, his family has been very supportive and has backed him in every situation. Therefore, yesterday on the final hole, we saw Tiger’s mother, son Charlie, daughter Sam, and girlfriend Erica. They cheered and enjoyed this moment as Woods received a huge standing ovation on the 18th green. 

“I mean, nothing ever surprises me about him,” said his girlfriend Erica. “But he’d just worked so hard to be here, and that was the one thing I knew. Once he got here, he wasn’t going to go home.” Moreover, she used the same words that we have heard from Tiger the entire week. “Appreciative,” and “Thankful.” 

Additionally, talking about the Augusta National, she said, “This feels like a home game for him. This has been his home turf for so long. Everybody around the club knows him. They know us now too,” concluded Erica.

Tiger Woods makes a comeback to professional golf after 17 months

The entire golfing world missed the presence of the legendary golfer Tiger Woods in the last year or so. However, we first saw him playing golf in December 2021 at the father-son PNC Championship. Team Woods finished runner-up, and we saw Tiger still has the swing and strength in his shots.

But the only hurdle was walking 72 holes over four days. And Woods walked around the course and played a few practice rounds before committing to the 86th edition of the Masters. Moreover, Tiger was off to a brilliant start as he was -1 after round one.

However, with changed conditions and a trickier atmosphere to play golf, Tiger struggled his way in the second and third rounds. He struggled a lot with his putting apart from the first round, which is understandable as couldn’t bend properly and have a look at the slopes of the green. Therefore, even though he made the cut, Tiger finished 47th with a score of +13. 

But more than his performance, everyone was elated to see him back competing at Augusta National. And the progress that he has made over the year or so has been phenomenal. Furthermore, after the final round, Tiger confirmed that he will be competing at the Open Championship. However, he still has revealed nothing about competing at the U.S. Open or PGA Championship.
