NASSAU, Bahamas – News that Tiger Woods said he has accepted the reality that he may never play at the highest level again, his body broken to the point he wouldn’t be able to get ready to compete, quickly spread through the Hero World Challenge, which has attracted 20 of the game’s best players.
Woods also said he’d still have a great life even if he never returned to the PGA Tour, but if his body allows, and he finds the intensity once again to rise from the damage, he’d try to play a few tournaments a season on the PGA Tour.
Plus a few “hit-and-giggle” events.
That was welcomed news from his peers, who are grateful to see Woods again after a horrible, one-car rollover accident in February nearly took his life. Whatever Woods’ future holds, the players said, it’s just great news that he is back and potentially could make enough progress to return to the PGA Tour.
Here are some of the player’s reactions.
