Tiger Woods Returns to Tour Today
Tiger Woods is back at Congressional, making defending champion Bill Haas an afterthought at the Quicken Loans National.
Woods returns to competition today for the first time after being out for three months due to back pains that started out sporadically, then more frequently, and ultimately caused him to have surgery just a week before the Masters.
The three-month hiatus is the professional golfer’s second longest next to the eight months he missed from knee surgery in 2008.
When he announced last week he was ready to start competing, Woods acknowledged that he would be a little rusty. He hasn’t competed in 109 days, dating to March 9 at Doral when he had the highest score (78) for a final round in his PGA Tour career.
“A little bit rusty, but really manage my way around this golf course,” he said. “This golf course is playing tough. The guys aren’t going to go really low here.”
