Tiger Woods returns to the PGA Tour this week after not playing since December at the Hero World Challenge where he finished one spot out of last place in the field of 18.

His return comes at Torrey Pines and the Farmers Insurance Open, where he’s won many times before, eight to be exact with one of those being the 2008 U.S. Open.

The now 43-year-old Woods, who is currently ranked 12th in the world after carding seven top 10 finishes and collecting his 80th PGA Tour victory at the Tour Championship last season, could also find himself ranked in the top 10 in the world rankings with a solid performance.

This would be the first time Woods would find himself in the top 10 since the 2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, when he was ranked 10th.

That’s quite an accomplishment considering he was ranked 539th in the world at the start of the 2018 season and 668th after the 2017 Hero World Challenge. Read more
