European Tour players excited by Woods’ return

London : Tiger Woods announced the date for his competitive comeback this week, with a number of European Tour players excited by the 14-time major champion’s return.

Woods confirmed that he will play as tournament host at the Hero World Challenge on the PGA Tour on November 30, his first professional appearance since February’s Dubai Desert Classic.

The 41-year-old has seen his career hampered by injury in recent years and has dropped outside of the world’s top 1000, but shared a number of videos on social media in recent weeks showing improvements to his game.

Ahead of this week’s Turkish Airlines Open - where Woods finished in a share of third in 2013 - we caught up with Ian Poulter, Padraig Harrington and a number of European Tour players to get their reaction to Woods’ latest comeback.
