Tiger Woods said he is “ready to play” again on the PGA Tour, and will return next week at the Genesis Invitational in California.
Woods expected to play at December’s Hero World Challenge, a small-field tournament featuring top-ranked golfers that he annually hosts in the Bahamas, but bowed out because of plantar fasciitis, a foot disorder that he said was related to the injuries he suffered in the car crash.
“The plantar fasciitis is no fun, and now I get to truly recover and heal and progress forward on this because there’s so many good things that I’ve been able to do physically, to be able to hit the golf ball and practice and do everything in a standstill,’’ hein December. “But I haven’t been able to get from Point A to Point B, and obviously going to work on this.’’
The Tiger Woods Foundation is the host of the Genesis Invitational, which begins Thursday. Formerly known as the Los Angeles Open, the tournament was Woods’s first PGA Tour event in 1992, when he competed as an amateur high school sophomore. It’s one of the few PGA Tour events that Woods, a 110-time tournament champion, hasn’t won.
