Tiger Woods returns to golf this week at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, playing for the first time in nearly 10 months following his fourth back surgery and a stint in rehab. And while we don’t expect him to win, or even compete, there’s some hope that this comeback might be different from all the others. You’ll be able to judge for yourself by following Woods’ return, as well as 17 of the best players in the world, in any number of different ways.
