[Golf Topic] Woods "Return of the Golf Emperor"... How Is His Knee Condition?

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…‘Golf Emperor’ Tiger Woods (USA) has finally appeared on the field.

On the 18th (Korean time) at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida (par 72, 7,106 yards), the PNC Championship Pro-Am took place. It was his first appearance in 10 months since a serious car accident in February. This is a PGA Tour event where 20 major champions form teams with their families to play 36 holes in pairs. The main match is played in a scramble format, where both players tee off, then the second shot is played from the better position.

Last year, Woods teamed up with his son Charlie to shoot 10-under par each day for two consecutive days, finishing tied for 7th place (20-under par 124 strokes). Charlie especially drew attention by quickly removing the tee right after his tee shot, standing on the green, and hurrying to move while the ball was rolling after putting, showing traits just like his father. Locally, all eyes were on Woods’ knee condition. Experts raised expectations, calling it an "incredibly fast recovery." Orlando, Florida, USA = Getty Images / Multibits
