Tiger to test his back and new swing at Hero World Challenge

A brand new swing and a fit-again back would both be put through a stringent test when celebrated golfer Tiger Woods makes a comeback at the Hero World Challenge against a highly competitive field, which includes six Major winners.
The 38-year-old has not played since August 8, after missing the cut at the PGA Championships in Valhalla, Kentucky. A week before that, a troubled back had forced him to withdraw from the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational after eight holes.
The American could not have hoped for a better place to make his comeback given that he has spent 14 of his life in Isleworth and knows the course like the back of his palm.

It will also be interesting to see how the 14-time Major winner's partnership with Chris Como -- his new swing consultant-- begins.
Woods has already declared that the pain in his back has all but disappeared and he was happy with his speed. Woods has, however, admitted that is was not yet game ready.
It will also be interesting to see if Woods gets good results from his new swing, tweaked in consultation with Como.
"I just haven't done it in a long time but my body is remembering it. The motor patterns, you develop all these different motor patterns in one's career. It's familiar, so it has not taken me that long to implement it," Woods said.
