Tiger Woods to compete for first time at PNC Championship since back surgery

Tiger Woods is set to return to golf for the first time since having back surgery three months ago, the PGA Tour announced Tuesday.

Woods and his son, Charlie, will participate at the PNC Championship in Orlando next week.

This will be the fifth time Team Woods will play at the two-day, 36-hole competition that features 20 major champions and their family members.

“I’m very excited to head back to the PNC Championship next week with Charlie,” the 15-time major winner said in a statement. “Playing together is something we look forward to and it’s always more special when you’re surrounded by friends and family.”

The father and son finished tied for fifth at last year’s event as Bernhard Langer and his son, Jason, were victors at the 2023 tournament.

Woods has not played since The Open Championship in July and the recent back problem continues the 48-year-old’s struggles with injuries, with the golf star saying that “the body just won’t recover like it used to.”
