Which golf tournaments are Tiger Woods confirmed to play in December 2022?
15-time major championship winner former World No. 1, and one of the richest athletes in the world, Tiger Woods is unarguably the most decorated American golfer.
But sadly, in February 2021, the golfer was involved in an accident while driving his SUV outside the hills of Los Angeles. His car lost its balance, and Tiger Woods injured his leg.
Woods was on complete bed rest but then returned to compete at the Masters. However, his injury forced him to take a brief break from playing, and Tiger Woods has been focused on his health ever since.
Can’t wait to play in Capital One’s: The Match with @McIlroyRory against @JustinThomas34 and @JordanSpieth to raise money for Hurricane Ian relief. See you boys under the lights on December 10th. https://t.co/IdaVY6HGV8
The incredibly amazing golfer is now returning to play golf in December. Woods has confirmed that he will be playing in three tournaments next month, starting on November 28.
2022 Hero World Challenge Championship
The Hero World Challenge is a golf event hosted by Tiger Woods that takes place every December.
It's an unofficial event, and the money collected from it is added to the Tiger Woods Foundation. Although it's a part of the PGA Tour, the player's earnings are not added to the official money.
I am excited to announce that I will be in the field for this year’s #HeroWorldChallenge. A big welcome to @K_Kisner and @TommyFleetwood1 for joining us as well. See you soon at Albany!
The tournament will start on November 28 with 17 professional golfers who will enter the championship to win the purse of $3.5 million.
The Hero World Challenge will conclude on December 4 at the Albany Golf Course, and Tiger Woods recently confirmed that he will be playing at the event.

Woods announced on Friday that he will be competing at the PNC Championship alongside his 13-year-old son, Charlie Woods.
The star-studded championship will start on December 17 and conclude on December 18 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando.
I'm thrilled to close out a great December by returning to compete in the @PNCchampionship with my son Charlie. Getting to play as a Dad makes the week that much more special.
In the championship, 20 professional golfers will be competing along with their family members who do not have PGA Tour cards.
Tiger Woods is very excited to play with his son again. He said:
"We have been looking forward to this week all year and we can't wait to team up together for our third PNC Championship. This is such a special opportunity as a dad to get to compete with my son against so many golfing greats and their family members. It's going to be a very special week, and I know that Charlie and I will have a blast."
