Tiger Woods Cleared To Chip And Putt
Tiger Woods has given a new update on his comeback: after his latest back surgery, he’s now cleared to chip and putt again.
It’s the first real golf motion he’s been allowed to make in six weeks, and it adds a fresh chapter to Tiger Woods’ evolving legacy that we’ve been tracking closely at ParTalk.
He shared the news while hosting the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. The message was clear: rehab is slow, controlled, and there’s no return date yet.
At 49, coming off a disc replacement and an earlier Achilles issue, Tiger and his team are choosing patience over hype. Chipping and putting first, full swings still off the table.
Why This Matters Beyond Tiger
When Tiger moves, the game moves. Broadcasters, sponsors, casual fans, hardcore gear heads — everyone leans in.
But here’s what most people miss: his careful restart from the short game up is also a quiet reminder that the best players fix their base first, not their driver.
If you’ve ever come back from a break or injury and felt like your swing betrayed you, Tiger’s methodical comeback holds the exact blueprint you need.
With the Champions Tour already reshaping itself for his eventual presence — which I broke down in Champions Tour is finally ready for Tiger and what it means — every small update like this sends a signal through the entire golf world.
