Tiger poised for comeback

FORMER world No. 1 Tiger Woods, sidelined for 15 months after back surgery, will make his return to competitive golf at High Noon in Nassau, Bahamas, tomorrow alongside Patrick Reed at the Hero World Challenge.

Pairings for the 18-man invitational event were released on Monday and Woods, a 14-time major champion who has not won a major title since the 2008 US Open, will be the second to play in the sixth group out.

It will be the first time Woods has played competitively since he shared 10th at Greensboro in August of last year.

Woods, who fell to 898th in the world rankings on Monday, missed the cut at the US and British Opens and the PGA Championship last year.

Woods, whose 79 career PGA titles are three shy of Sam Snead’s all-time record, has not won a tournament since the 2014 Bridgestone Invitational, a World Golf Championships event at Akron, Ohio.
