The public is still deeply interested in Tiger Woods and his future. The 49-year-old golfer is still in the process of recovering from two surgeries this year, and the date of his return is still unknown. Whether Tiger Woods will return soon or not remains to be seen, but we will certainly be following his career and his every move with great attention.
His longtime friend Notah Begay III believes that Tiger Woods still has a strong desire to succeed and is still aiming for an 83rd victory on the PGA Tour. Begay III gave an update regarding his health condition, saying that the biggest problem for Tiger Woods is walking. This is probably the most serious obstacle that currently prevents him from returning to the golf course.
"I never take anything away from the guy," Begay III said, as quoted by Golf Magic.

"I think in his heart of hearts, 83 is a big number. It's an important number.
And I think there's a couple venues that I think could accommodate his current physical condition.
I think the biggest problem, in the conversations that I've had with him, is the walking. That's it.
He hits it great, he's in tremendous physical condition. His ball speeds are fast enough, they're 175-180 which is adequate for the PGA Tour."
Begay III on Tiger's return
However, Tiger Woods is still an impressive player who is in great shape. Begay III believes that his return would not be a coincidence, but that Woods can still compete with the best names in the golf scene. He believes that the RBC Heritage or Charles Schwab Challenge tournament could be a potential challenge for Tiger Woods if he returns, considering that he has not played in such tournaments often.

Is the veteran player still hungry for success? We don't know the real answer. At the moment, he is devoting most of his attention to his son Charly, accompanying him to many tournaments throughout the year. Fans are hoping for his early return, but we still don't have an exact forecast for when he will return.
