Woods returned to action that December at the Hero World Challenge, where he tied for ninth. But as Woods has said before, it wasnt an easy road back. (An example: Woods first drive back after surgery carried maybe 90 yards.)It was not a fun time and a tough couple years there, Woods said. But I was able to start to walk again, I was able to participate in life, I was able to be around my kids again and go to their games, go to their practices, take them to school again. These are all things I couldnt do for a very long time.Now, the 42-year-old Woods is back to collecting hardware. His GWAA win was the 12th of his career he has won 10 Player of the Year awards and has never missed a dinner in which he was being honored.Brooks Koepka, Ariya Jutanugarn, Bernhard Langer, Geoff Ogilvy and Johnny Miller were the other winners who attended the dinner. Tim Rosaforte contributed to this report.
