Exciting Ways to Watch Tiger Woods’ Comeback at the Hero World Challenge in Golf

Tiger Woods is set to make his latest comeback to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge.

The 15-time major champion has not played since withdrawing midway through the Masters in April.

Woods recorded rounds of 74 and 73 at Augusta before re-aggravating a foot issue.

Woods is, however, in line to play in the Bahamas at the exclusive event he hosts annually in the island nation. Here’s everything you need to know.
