Tiger Woods’ return to competitive golf continues apace ahead of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitation, which begins Thursday. A practice round at the Firestone Country Club course that hosts the event had Woods feeling very good both about his health and his chances when he talked to media members on Tuesday:
Tiger Woods ‘Pleased’ With WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Practice Round
“The shots felt very crisp, very clean. I was very pleased. … Everything that we’ve been working on, we’re very pleased with today. I’ve just got to keep working at it.”
...
Asked how long it’s been since he felt as good physically as he does now, Woods responded: “Years.”
Woods hasn’t played on the PGA Tour since The Players Championship in May, where he played nine holes before withdrawing due to injury. He has since retooled his swing — though new swing coach Sean Foley told reporters on Monday that he hadn’t worked with Woods since the Players — and fired caddie Stevie Williams, replacing him with longtime friend Bryon Bell on an interim basis.
