Tiger Woods underwent back surgery a few days ago, which immediately caused reactions on social media. Golf fans are wondering when they can expect his return to the courses. Woods has been out for most of this year, and there have been indications that he could return early next year. However, this surgery changes the situation and raises the question of whether we can even expect his return.
His former coach, Chris Como, reflected on Woods' career and his incredible victory at the 2019 Masters. Their collaboration lasted three years, from 2014 to 2017, and even then Como could see how dedicated Tiger was to the sport and motivated to return to the top.
During his career, Tiger went through numerous obstacles and injuries that appeared from month to month.
Even when he was playing in great pain, he wanted to show the world that nothing could stop him on his way.

Como points out that Woods could have given up long ago or left things to chance, but his will and passion for golf were stronger than anything.
Even in a window where he was hurt, he would just do everything he could to fight through it. It is one of the more remarkable things I have ever seen, just from a human level, he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
I know the type of pain that he was in and how injured he was, and how difficult the back situation was for him. And he just kept fighting when 99.9 percent of all the people in the world would probably be like, look, Im good. Ive won 14 majors. Ive made X amount of dollars. Im good. And he just kept at it.

To win The Masters in 2019, that was one of the most special moments in sports I think. It was remarkable to be around him and just that no quit mindset. His work ethic was incredible. He fought through a lot of pain and kept at it.- he concluded.
Tiger's return
Tiger Woods has still not revealed when he can expect his return, but the public is certainly full of question marks over their heads and hopes that the 49-year-old will return to the golf courses.
