Well, what did you expect?
Tiger Woods announced his return to pro golf on Monday night, and golf fans and pros alike unsurprisingly freaked out on social media.
Woods tweeted, “I’d like to thank the committee of 1 for picking myself and Daniel Berger to play in this years #HeroWorldChallenge,” and with that the world knew the former World No. 1’s much-anticipated return was right around the corner. To be exact, the Hero World Challenge runs November 30-December 3 in the Bahamas. Tiger last played competitively at the Dubai Desert Classic in February.
