One of the real stories of the current week's Hero World Challenge - OK, the main story of this current week - is the way Tiger Woods will perform in his first focused golf competition since the Wyndham Championship in 2015. No one, including Tiger, has any thought how any of this will play out, however we do have some history here with Woods.
He is a man whose second 50% of his profession has been as characterized by harm as his first half was characterized by winning real titles. Knees, necks, backs and a reiteration of different diseases has left him a 40-year-old golfer who feels like he's going on 65. Possibly this rebound is distinctive. Who knows?
Woods wouldn't win this week, obviously, however I needed to glance back at his longest expanded breaks from the amusement (think numerous months) and perceive how he performed when he returned to check whether we could gather anything about how this gallivant down to the Bahamas will unfurl.
April 2008 (arthroscopic knee surgery)
This was the first of what might be a progression of genuine wounds for Big Cat. It would likewise be the best recuperation he could ever have from genuine time off as he didn't play between the 2008 Masters (where he completed second) and 2008 U.S. Open (which he won). Time off: 2 months
Next begin: Wins 2008 U.S. Open in playoff (72-68-70-73)
June 2008 (ACL surgery)
Woods would go ahead to miss an entire eight months after ACL surgery taking after that well known 2008 U.S. Open. His 2009 was still enormous. He won six circumstances and had three different runners up in the wake of leaving in the second round of match play in his first competition back. Time off: 8 months
Supported BY NEW YORK LIFE
One group is bound to win. Also, we need you on it.
With New York Life close by, you can be great at life. Quiet, cool, secured.
Next begin: Loses in second round of 2009 Match Play Championship
May 2011 (MCL strain and Achilles strain)
This was a gentle harm contrasted with the rest. String them all together, and it begins to look revolting, however. Woods would not win again until the next March in spite of the fact that he played really well in his first begin back at Bridgestone. Time off: Three months
Next begin: T37 at 2011 Bridgestone Invitational (68-71-72-70)
April 2014 (back surgery)
The first of three back surgeries for Woods. The question that waits is whether this was the start of the end or only a hindrance while in transit to 10 more years of focused golf. Time off: 3 months
Next occasion: Missed cut at 2014 Quicken Loans National (74-75)
February 2015 (back harm, glute initiation)
I was dazed at the way Woods played in the Masters in the wake of leaving from the Farmers Insurance Open with back and glute issues. That T17 he posted at Augusta in the wake of battling all spring with his wellbeing and short amusement was genuinely one of the more amazing deeds I've ever observed him finish. Time off: 2 months
Next Event: T17 at 2015 Masters (73-69-68-73)
September 2015 (back surgery)
He had two back surgeries in the time he has taken off from the amusement. His eagerly awaited return happens in the Bahamas on Thursday. Time off: 15 months
Next occasion: 2016 Hero World Challenge
These rebounds are distinctive. Some are long (years), and some are short (months). Be that as it may, Woods has made sense of how to come back from every one of them. This time may be distinctive, however.
"There was a considerable measure of anxiety and times where I thought ‑‑ I thought of [whether I would play again] in light of the fact that it was sensible," said Woods on Tuesday. "When I had my knee re-done and it was totally blown, I knew it was nine months, yet I knew I could return from it. It's not nerve harm.
"When you're managing a spine, when you're managing nerves, it's a very surprising arrangement. Conversing with Davis [Love III], Davis had his neck melded. He had shivering down his arm, he couldn't feel his fingers any longer. That's, you know, your profession could be over. Had it settled, returned and won a year ago."
That is the issue in golf (perhaps in all of games): Will Tiger win once more? I get it constantly. Wherever I go. Everyone I meet. He's done it some time recently. Could he do it once more? The immense part about this amusement? No one really knows.
