The Hero World Challenge began with a bummer – the withdrawal of Tiger Woods citing plantar fasciitis – but he was still ever-present and top of mind all week as the tournament host.
Woods gave putting tips to pro-am participants, spent time in the TV booth and gave a better than most news conference during which time he roasted Greg Norman, ripped the Official World Golf Ranking, made an inaccurate claim about the Tour taking a loan during the pandemic and dropped some news about having had surgery.
While we will have to wait a little longer to see him play some hit and giggle golf this month – his first time playing publicly since the British Open in July – we did learn a few things along the way from and about Tiger.
