As the golfing world steadies itself for the return of Tiger Woods, there are some professionals who are also looking forward to it. One of them is current World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, who has been left stunned by the performances of Woods.
The 47-year-old golf veteran has been away from the golf scene since his knee injury in April. This appearance at the Hero World Challenge will mark Woods’ first competitive golf game since the Masters. Scheffler, who will tee off with Sam Burns, has now claimed that Woods is different than all of them.
The participants of the tournament were seen taking part in the Pro-Am of the Hero World Challenge on Wednesday. During this practice round, Woods was seen hitting shots on the range while playing nine holes. The PGA Tour would share a tweet on their X regarding Woods’ practice round and soon reqoute themselves with the words of Scheffler.
“I love looking down the range and seeing him hit balls and hearing that sound…He’s different than the rest of us.” – Scottie Scheffler on Tiger Woods through a press conference.
"He's just different."
