The 15-time major winner met with a serious accident early in the year. However, while his golf career hanged in the balance, Tiger marked a remarkable comeback, finishing runners-up at the 2021 PNC Championship.

The dynamic father-son duo shot a firing 15 under par 57- in the final round on Sunday and finished in the second position at 25 under par, just two shots behind the winners.

Tiger’s Caddie comments on his swing

In a recent interview, Tiger Woods’ long-term caddie, Joe LaCava, said, “I don’t want to say shocked, but I’m a little pleasantly surprised.

“I get a lot more positive energy than I do negative energy, to be honest with you,” he added.

He further said, “A lot of quality long-iron shots. The short game is midseason form. Good touch. Better distance control on the 60-, 70-, 80-yard shots.”

He was delighted to be with Tiger once again and added, “I’d like to do this more than once a year.” Tiger, despite his injury, played wonderfully and as always, was fun to watch.

What does the future hold for Tiger?

Tiger Woods, presumably the GOAT, was away from competitive golf since February this year. Earlier in a press conference at the HERO World Challenge, Tiger said, “As far as playing at the Tour level, I don’t know when that’s going to happen.”

Tiger Woods can surely still play golf, but the main issue will be walking 18 holes in a four-day event, which will take a huge toll on him. In reference to the same, LaCava said, “Obviously, physically you can see he’s in a lot of pain. He’s not even close to being there yet, to be able to walk a golf course and play at that level. But in terms of golf, not all bad.”

How long do you think before Tiger marks his return to the tour?
