Tiger Woods makes his long-awaited return to action this week as he competes for the first time since July at the Hero World Challenge, live on Sky Sports Golf.

The 46-year-old is part of a star-studded field at the Albany, featuring eight of the world's top 11 and three of this year's four men's major winners, with Woods back in his role as player-host for the invite-only event.

Woods is a five-time winner in the Bahamas but has not featured in his own event since 2019, with the 2020 contest cancelled due to Covid-19 before he had to sit out last year's contest as he continued to recover from career-threatening leg injuries from last February's car crash.

The former world No 1 has only made three starts this year, finishing 47th at The Masters and withdrawing after his third round at the PGA Championship before missing the cut at The 150th Open in July.

Woods' limited playing schedule in recent years has dropped him to world No 1,277, although a winning comeback this week could see him jump more than 1,000 places in the latest world rankings. However, an unlikely victory would not classify as a history-making 83rd PGA Tour title because the tournament only holds unofficial status.
