Tiger Woods says he'll play World Challenge

Tiger Woods minced no words with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Thursday, sounding definitive when he said he would play again.

When Colbert asked when to expect Woods to make his comeback after a false start at the Safeway Open and pulling out of the Turkish Airlines Open, Woods said he is in for his tournament, the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas in December.

“I’ll be there,” Woods said. “I’m playing.”

“You’re going to play?” Colbert asked to clarify.

“I’ll be there playing,” Woods responded.

In announcing his decision to pull out of the Safeway Open, Woods reiterated his intention to play in the World Challenge, a year after a sullen news conference at the same tournament in which he said anything he accomplished in golf beyond his 79 PGA Tour wins and 14 majors would be “gravy.”

Woods explained to Colbert why he withdrew from the Safeway Open, expounding on his website post in which he said his game is “vulnerable.”

“My game is coming, it’s getting there. I’m not quite there where I feel like I can shoot 63s and -4s in tournaments,” Woods said. “I’m shooting low rounds at home, but I just don’t feel it’s quite ready to shoot those types of scores under tournament conditions.”
