 The latest announcement by Tiger Woods has left all his fans sad and disappointed. The Hero World Challenge 2022 was supposed to be a way for Woods to get back into the game as a host and player. However, the pro has withdrawn his name from the event due to his injury. The Hero challenge was a card for the golfer to prove himself after performing at this year’s Open Championship at St. Andrews. We saw the 46-year-old golfer on the golf course only thrice this year, and Masters and PGA Championship were the highlights of his 2022. After having a near-fatal accident in February 2021, he almost lost his right leg. Sustaining multiple fractures affected his golfing career adversely. Fans had hoped for the Hero World Challenge; however, that is out of the question now. Even though it is a sad time, we should not lose hope. Therefore, let’s walk memory lane and remember his 2018 Hero World challenge performance. A GLIMPSE OF THE EXCELLENT PAST OF TIGER WOODS The greatest of all time golfer, Tiger Woods [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/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 [https://twitter.com/TigerWoods/status/1597307224657129473] Woods on Twitter. But do not be sad, as the pro golfer has had significant years too, especially the 2018 Hero World Challenge.

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 [https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2022/11/07/tiger-woods-rory-mcilroy-jordan-spieth-justin-thomas-match-december/] 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 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rory-mcilroy/], on December 10, 2022. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/thematch-1694-pgatour.jpg] The duo will compete against Jordan Spieth [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jordan-spieth/] and Justin Thomas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/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 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/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.’ Watch this story- Inside Tiger Woods’ Love-Hate Relationship With His Great Rival [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/golf-news-inside-tiger-woods-love-hate-relationship-with-his-great-rival/] What are your thoughts about the withdrawal?
