Tiger Woods insists he will make tour return

Tiger Woods insisted he will make a return to golf – but admitted he has a “long way to go”. 

After being seriously hurt in a car crash almost a year ago, the 15-time major winner revealed he had nearly lost his right leg and was “lucky to be alive”. 

Various claims have been made about his future, including suggestions he would never feature on the tour again. 

But Woods insisted he will be back, albeit on a reduced schedule.

“Will I come back? Yes. Will I come back and play a full schedule? No,” he said ahead of the Genesis Invitational, which he is hosting. 

“I can play certain events here and there but on a full-time schedule, that will never happen again. I will pick and choose my events.” 

“I wish I could tell you when I’ll be playing again. I want to know but I don’t,” Woods added. 

“My golf activity has been very limited. I can chip, putt and hit short irons really well but I haven’t done any long stuff.
