WATCH: After Tiger Woods’ Unfortunate Announcement, a Spectacular Blast From the Past to Kill the Sadness

The greatest of all time golfer, Tiger Woods serves as a host for the Hero World Challenge. It is a 20-player exhibition event where the host plays too; however, Woods will only host this year. The golfer took his Twitter handle and announced that he would not play due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. “After consulting with my doctors and trainers, I have decided to withdraw this week and focus on my hosting duties,” said Woods on Twitter. But do not be sad, as the pro golfer has had significant years too, especially the 2018 Hero World Challenge.

Even though he will be playing ‘The Match’ and PNC Championship, the news was still saddening for the fans. Therefore, let’s take a walk in the past and remember the blast from the Hero World Challenge 2018. It saved the golfer from a penalty. In the event’s second round, the PGA golfer played his second shot from under a Sawgrass plant on the par-4 18th hole. However, the authorities decided not to give him a penalty. As it was not a double hit by the golfer, therefore Woods was spared of stroke penalty. Watch it now!

It was a great relief for all the fans. And today, too, there are still events to look forward to after the announcement. Even though the pro will not play at the Hero World Challenge, he will still play with his son at the PNC Championship. The father-son duo will return from December 15 to December 18, 2022, to the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes.

What can all the fans look forward to?

It shattered the hopes of fans after the latest announcement by Woods. However, there is an upcoming event where fans can watch their G.O.A.T. golfer play. Despite his foot injury, Woods still plans on playing in the seventh edition of ‘The Match.’ He will play with the current number one, Rory McIlroy, on December 10, 2022. 

The duo will compete against Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. ‘The Match’ is one of the most awaited events by all the fans. It started in 2018 when the former number-one golfer played against LIV player Phil Mickelson. But unfortunately, that was one of the most significant losses for Woods. However, hopes are high with high spirits. Only time will tell if the Hall of Fame golfer will win this year’s ‘The Match.’
