TIGER WOODS will return to action next week after seven months out.
The golf legend has entered the Genesis International in Los Angeles.
Tiger Woods is set to return to action next week
The event will be Woods‘ first since missing the cut at The Open last July.
Woods, 47, tweeted: “I’m ready to play an ACTUAL PGA Tour event next week.”
He suffered two fractures in his right leg and a shattered ankle after being involved in a terrifying car crash in February 2021.
The American icon later made a miraculous return to action – but has since been plagued by further injuries.
He managed just nine rounds last year, and he now places 1,283th in the golf world rankings.
Next week will mark Woods’ first appearance at a non-major event since the Zozo Championships in 2020.
Persistent injuries have affected Woods’ ability to walk, and he was forced to withdraw from the Hero World Challenge in December due to suffering with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
While long walks remain an issue, Woods has been able to play in events that allow the use of a buggy, and he participated alongside his son Charlie at the PNC Championship late last year.

Opening up on his injury woes last December, he said: “The plantar fasciitis is no fun, and now I get to truly recover and heal and progress forward on this because there’s so many good things that I’ve been able to do physically, to be able to hit the golf ball and practice and do everything in a standstill.
“But I haven’t been able to get from point A to point B, and obviously going to work on this.”
Woods will be aiming to be fit for the Masters in Augusta in April – having come 47th in last year’s event just 14 months on from his car accident.

How do you improve your golf score?
These simple tips will make your golf game more enjoyable.
- Play less and practice more. Practice more to become better at your chosen skill. To play too often is a sign that you are developing bad habits.
- Feel good. There are times when it is not easy to play golf. Don’t force your self to do things you don’t like. Instead, find ways that golf can be made more enjoyable.
- Take breaks. Golfers like to take breaks during rounds to stretch, walk around, have lunch or just relax. Taking breaks allows your body to relax and helps you stay focused throughout the round.
- Drink water It’s easy for you to lose count of how many beverages you’ve consumed while on the golf course. Drink enough water to ensure you don’t become dehydrated. Hydration is key to feeling energized and ready to go for the next round.
- Healthy eating is key. Eating healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and low fat dairy products will give you energy and allow you to perform well on the course.
- Stay hydrated. Water is the best thing to keep hydrated. Aim to drink at least eight glasses per day. This includes water from drinks (such as coffee) and plain water.
- 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. It’s important to not focus on the ball or watch where it falls. Instead, focus your attention on the hole.
- Proper form is key to a smooth and graceful swing. Different people might interpret the same thing as proper form. You should avoid hitting your target with your swing. Instead, aim to strike the ball at the center of your target.
- Focus on the process. You can improve your golf swing by focusing on the process. To put it another way, if your hands are not still, you can try relaxing your grip. Focus on good posture, if you find it difficult to balance.

How To
How can you improve the game of golf at home?
You can practice wherever you are!
You can use any kind of equipment, from a basic putter to a complete set of clubs. There are many online options for training your golf skills, such as swing analyzers, putting trainers, and virtual reality systems.
The best way to improve your golf game at work is to practice regularly. Find a course close to your home or workplace to practice. This lets you practice when you want, without the need to wait for a partner or wait until you return home.
Practice makes perfect, so if you don’t play often enough, try practicing once a week or every two weeks. If you play regularly, you might consider playing twice a year or once per month. It doesn’t really matter how much time you spend practicing, just ensure that you continue to practice.
It is important to choose a golf club that fits your needs. A poorly fitting club could cause injury to yourself or damage to your favorite golf ball. Review before purchasing anything. Take a look at the grip size that you prefer.
Remember to warm up before you hit the ball. When you first start playing, you might not know exactly how much force you should apply when swinging a club. Warming up helps you learn how strong you need to hit the ball to achieve certain distances.
