Tiger Woods has beefed up his early season schedule with four events in the space of a month as the former world No 1’s golfing comeback moves through the gears.
The 41-year-old, who made a tentative return to competitive action in his own Hero World Challenge at the tail end of 2016 after 15 months on the sidelines, has added February’s Dubai Desert Classic to a diary which also includes appearances in the Farmers Insurance Open, the Genesis Open and the Honda Classic.
The Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, an event Woods has won seven times, will be his first outing of 2017 while the addition of the Dubai event on the European Tour will see the 14-time major winner return to another of his happy hunting grounds.
Woods has won the Desert Classic twice and is 92-under-par for the 28 rounds he has played over the Majlis course since making his debut in the tournament back in 2001.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
