CNN —Tiger Woods says he’s only prepared to walk away from playing golf when he no longer believes he can be competitive as he insisted that’s currently not the case.
“I love competing, I love playing,” Woods told reporters ahead of his highly-anticipated return to competitive golf.
While confirming the operation to fuse his ankle earlier this year was successful, Woods said that his recovery took its toll.
“Unfortunately I’ve had experience, I’ve gone through it before and I’m here on the good side now.”Woods has not played competitive golf since April, 2023.
The move gave the players a one-seat advantage after the controversial merger in June between the PGA Tour and Saudi-backed LIV Golf.
