Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy announce lengthy TGL delay due to dramatic venue collapse<\/h3>\n

Tiger Woods successfully completed his return to golf on Sunday when he finished even par at his own Hero World Challenge event in the Bahamas. The 15-time major champion came 18th out of a field of 20 but would have just been relieved to have completed his first event since The Masters at Augusta National back in April, following ankle surgery.<\/p>\n

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was the eventual champion finishing 20 under par through 72 holes, further cementing his current standing at the pinnacle of the game.<\/p>\n

But Woods was “ecstatic” to be back competing again, although he admitted that he still needs to get into better shape.<\/p>\n

He told the Golf Channel: “I feel like my game’s not that far off but I need to get in better shape. I don’t have the bone pain that I did, but I still have to go through with the same protocols. It takes a long time, that’s the unfortunate thing about ageing.”<\/p>\n

Woods will make his next appearance at PNC Championship – formerly the Father\/Son Challenge – on December 14 alongside his son Charlie.<\/p>\n

From thereon in, the former world No. 1 is planning to play one tournament a month. He said: “Once a month seems reasonable. It gives me a couple of weeks to recover and a week to tune up. Maybe I can get into the rhythm.”<\/p>\n

Woods’ unmatchable standing in the game gives him the luxury of being able to pick and choose his events, including the Majors which he would receive invitations for automatically as a former winner of all four tournaments.<\/p>\n

Express Sport<\/em> has taken a look at which events he is likely to play in next year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In January, Woods is likely to kick off his new campaign at The Sentry (formerly Tournament of Champions) tournament at Kapalua Golf on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The season-opening event gets underway on January 4.<\/p>\n

February features a handful of popular PGA Tour events including the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genisis Invitational and Riviera Country Club, but Tiger may likely appear at the Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale from February 8-11, where the bumper crowds create a unique atmosphere and the presence of Woods will take things to another level. Expect utter bedlam if he gets an ace on the now-infamous 16th hole, just like he did in 1997.<\/p>\n

In March he will almost certainly turn out at The Players’ Championship at Sawgrass on March 14-17 – a tournament that is often referred to as the ‘fifth Major’.<\/p>\n

April 11 sees the start of Major season and injury-permitting there can be no doubt that Woods will be part of the field that participates at Augusta National for The Masters. He is a five-time Green Jacket champion after all.<\/p>\n

The PGA Championship will be held at Valhalla Golf Club on May 16-19, so we can expect to see Woods in Kentucky for the second Major of the year before he returns for the US Open at the Pinehurst Resort on June 13-16.<\/p>\n
