RORY McIlroy has hinted that Tiger Woods could return to competitive golf BEFORE they team up for The Match in December.
Golf legend Woods, 46, has been on a long road to recovery since his February 2021 car crash that almost left him unable to walk.
McIlroy believes Woods will return at the Hero World Challenge before they team up for The Match
Woods required emergency surgery after suffering multiple leg breaks which left his professional golf career in doubt.
Nonetheless, Woods made a remarkable return at the Masters in April 2022.
He was forced to withdraw from the third round of the PGA Championship and was far from his best as he limped around St Andrews.
But the 82-time PGA Tour winner – who plummeted to a career-low ranking of 1,206 – could return at the Hero World Challenge next month before competing in The Match alongside world No1 McIlroy.
McIlroy told Golf and Turismo: “Tiger overall is fine.
“He is still working hard on his rehabilitation. The road is long but improving day by day.
“After the Open Championship he had to take a break, but I think he can be back by the end of the year, maybe at the Hero World Challenge.”
The Athletic are reporting Woods will compete against Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.

The Match features an alternative format and is played for charity.

How can I improve my score on golf?

- Practice more, play less. You can improve your skills by practicing more. To play too often is a sign that you are developing bad habits.
- You should play when you feel good. There will be times when you don’t feel like going out on the course. Do not force yourself to do something you don’t enjoy. Instead, look for ways to make golf more enjoyable.
- Take breaks. Golfers take breaks throughout the round to stretch, walk, eat lunch, and so on. You can relax your body and stay focused while on the course by taking breaks.
- Drink water! It’s easy not to keep track of how many drinks were consumed while you are out on the course. Make sure you drink enough water so that you aren’t dehydrated. Hydration is key to feeling energized and ready to go for the next round.
- You must eat right. Consuming healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and low-fat milk products will give you energy to help you do well on your course.
- Keep hydrated. The best way to stay hydrated is to drink lots of water. At least eight glasses of water should be consumed each day. This includes water that is made from beverages, such as coffee, as well plain water.
- You should warm up properly. Begin your round by walking or running for five to ten minutes. Next, work on being loose and flexible.
- Keep your head down. When you tee off, it’s important to keep your eyes straight ahead. Avoid looking at the ball or watching where it lands. Your eyes should be focused on the hole instead.
- Correct form is important when you are trying to move. Different people may interpret proper form in different ways. You should avoid hitting your target with your swing. Instead, aim to strike the ball at the center of your target.
- Concentrate on the process. There are many things that go into a successful swing of golf, but focusing on the process will allow you to develop the best technique. You can relax your grip if your hands are slipping. Focus on good posture, if you find it difficult to balance.

How To
Which are the best golf clubs I should have in my bag?
When you’re looking for the best golf clubs, it is important to know what kind of golfer you are. A higher end model is best for you if you intend to play golf regularly. You might be able to afford a set of mid-range clubs if you go out only occasionally. It really all depends on what you’re willing to spend and how frequently you plan to play.
A good set of woods is essential for anyone who hits a lot. The reason why they’re so popular is because they provide great distance and accuracy. These types are typically made out stainless steel or Titanium, which makes them very durable. Make sure you have the correct head size when you buy any type wood club. A smaller head means you will have less forgiveness, while a bigger head will allow you to hit more shots.
You’ll also want a good putter. This is something that you’ll use quite frequently during practice sessions and tournaments. You’ll notice that there are two main options here. The blade style putter can be used, and the mallet style putter can also be used. These putters are easy to learn, and you can feel the ball moving towards your face before it hits. Mallet style putters require more skill and are less forgiving.
A few styles are best for irons. There are many styles of iron sets. Some prefer to purchase a complete iron set, while others prefer to get their fairway woods/hybrids. Before you make your final choice, try out several brands.
For wedges, it is important to choose a wedge that suits your swing. If you are left-handed, you will need an offset wedge. However, if your swing is right-handed, you would want a straight through wedge.
When selecting a driver, you’ll first want to determine whether you’re a pull hitter or a fade hitter. Drivers that weigh more than usual are preferable to pull hitters. They can generate more power and torque behind the ball. Lighter drivers are preferred by fade hitters. They’re more versatile and are able to produce more ball spin.
A variety of clubs is always a good thing. You never know when you might need to change things up or purchase new equipment. You can have all your clubs at your disposal.
