Tiger Woods has hinted his long-awaited comeback to golf is not so far away.Woods has been largely absent from the scene following a rollover crash in March.Woods received a five-year driving ban after his rollover crashGettyHe also has not competed on the PGA Tour since the Open Championship in 2024, with a ruptured Achilles and a seventh back surgery keeping him off the fairways.But speaking to Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio, Woods insists he is well on the mend and will be at the Hero World Challenge, a tournament he hosts, in December.What did Tiger Woods say about his comeback?“I’m feeling better, there’s no doubt about that,” Woods said.“I’ve been training quite a bit.“I will be at Hero [World Challenge]. I’m there either way, so I’ll see you there.” This is the first time Woods has publicly addressed speculation that he will return before the end of 2026.There is a chance Woods ends up playing in the Hero World Challenge, which begins on December 3, as this year’s 20-man field included three tournament exemptions yet to be announced.Should Woods end up playing in his own tournament, he’ll compete against the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young and Matt Fitzpatrick, who are all set to feature in the Bahamas.Which other tournaments could Tiger Woods play in?Another competition in Woods’ sights is the new season of TGL, which gets underway on December 27.Talk of Woods’ return at TGL was sparked by former US Ryder Cup vice-captain Kevin Kisner, who was a member of the golf icon’s Jupiter Links team for two seasons but is not involved in season three.Fans are anxiously awaiting the return of the 15-time major winnerGettySpeaking on Barstool Sports’ Fore Play podcast, Kisner confirmed Woods ‘wants to play’ via a message from the latter’s manager Rob McNamara.“Rob, Tiger’s guy, he text me a long text last week, I think,” Kisner said.“Just telling me what they did on their decisions, how they were moving around and what players were going to do and that Tiger wanted to play a full schedule.”Prior to the launch of TGL’s third season, Woods may look to play alongside his son, Charlie, at the PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida.The tournament permits Woods to use a cart in the 36-hole, two-person event, greatly reducing the risk of fatigue.For Charlie, the event would be his first since he officially signed to play golf for Florida State University, having already announced his commitment in February.Charlie would go into the PNC Championship in strong form having helped his high school, the Benjamin School, win their regional championship.
