Since Woods wasn’t participating in the tournament, the college group extended their support to Aaron Wise, since he lives in the same Jupiter island as the 82-time PGA Tour winner. 

“We’re representing Tiger Woods. He’s not here today, but we’re thinking about him, we’re hoping he makes a comeback real soon, and we’re excited about it. It means everything to the game of golf,” expressed Ross Udine, a hardcore Tiger Woods fan 

While Woods continues his recovery, his fans are awaiting his grand return to the tour. One can never write off a champion like Woods since he’s proved his mettle time and time again. 

What’s Woods’ best finish at the Honda Classic?

It is surprising that Tiger Woods has never soared to victory at the prestigious Honda Classic event. The golf legend has never been a constant presence at this tournament, but he managed a second-place finish in 2012. 

Tiger Woods put on quiet displays in the first three rounds but shot 8-under 62 in Round 4 to gain places in the leaderboard. However, this wasn’t enough to earn him championship honors as Woods finished tied for second place behind Rory McIlroy. 

In the end, it was a close finish. Woods and Tom Gillis only lost by two strokes as McIlroy had the last laugh at the PGA National seven years ago.
