The ‘Golf Emperor’ Tiger Woods (USA) always wears a red shirt and black pants on the final day of a tournament. This is known as the ‘winning dress code.’ On the 6th (Korean time), at the Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas (par 72, 7,309 yards), the final day of the PGA Tour Hero World Challenge (total prize money $3.5 million), he appeared in this exact outfit, drawing all eyes. He refined his shots at the driving range and, as the tournament host, presented the trophy to Viktor Hovland (Norway) at the awards ceremony.


It is interesting that Woods appeared at the practice range for three consecutive days. Since his car accident last February, he had been bedridden for three months and underwent treatment and rehabilitation over nine months, including wheelchair and crutches. Following wedge shots last month, he practiced fairway woods three days ago and drivers starting the day before. This is why there are already local predictions that he will participate in the PNC Championship starting on the 19th with his son Charlie.



The PNC Championship is an event where 20 past major winners compete alongside their children, grandchildren, or other family members. The Woods duo ranked 7th among 20 teams last year, and Charlie drew even more spotlight with his ‘fist pump’ and other playing gestures resembling his father. The organizing committee said, "There is still one spot available," and added, "If walking 36 holes is difficult, a cart can be used." The global golf community is focusing its attention on whether Woods will appear.
