It’s official: Tiger Woods commits to next week’s Safeway Open

You can stop sweating, Safeway Open officials. Tiger Woods has officially committed to next week’s tournament in Napa ahead of the 5 p.m. EST deadline for doing so.

Woods had announced in a press release last month that he “hoped” to kick off his 2016-2017 season at the former Frys.com Open, but hadn’t officially confirmed he would until this morning.

Woods wrote on his website at the time.

“My rehabilitation is to the point where I’m comfortable making plans, but I still have work to do. Whether I can play depends on my continued progress and recovery. My hope is to have my game ready to go.”

Apparently, his game is ready to go. And that’s the report from Jesper Parnevik, at least, who told Golf Digest that Woods is “flushing everything” in practice and looks like the Woods of 15 years ago.

The 14-time major winner’s last start on the PGA Tour came at the 2015 Wyndham Championship, where he tied for 10th.

Woods underwent a pair of back surgeries in late 2015, the recovery from which kept him on the shelf for the entire 2015-2016 season. His participation in last week’s Ryder Cup as an assistant captain marked the golfer’s first stint of any length of time in the public eye since the surgeries.

And if you want to speculate about the clubs Woods will play, you can join the legion of WRXers doing just that in this thread.

GolfWRX is on site this week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship.

While we see fewer equipment changes and new gear seeding at major championships, we get a look at custom gear and looks into the bags of players we rarely see, which is just as exciting. In the case of the PGA Championship, this means a look at the gear some of the PGA Professionals who qualified for the tournament will be gaming, and LIV players, such as Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed.

Check out links to all our albums from Valhalla below and check back throughout the week as we continue to update.

GolfWRX is live this week at the Wells Fargo Championship as a field of the world’s best golfers descend upon Charlotte, North Carolina, hoping to tame the beast that is Quail Hollow Club in this Signature Event — only Scottie Scheffler, who is home awaiting the birth of his first child, is absent.

From the grounds at Quail Hollow, we have our usual assortment of general galleries and WITBs — including a look at left-hander Akshay Bhatia’s setup. Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.

Be sure to check back throughout the week as we add more galleries.

GolfWRX is on site this week in McKinney, Texas, at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson (FKA the AT&T Byron Nelson).

Last year at TPC Craig Ranch, Jason Day ended a five-year winless streak. J-Day is in the field again, as are Jordan Spieth, Tom Kim, and Will Zalatoris.

We have our usual assortment of general galleries, WITBs, and pullout albums for your perusal. As always, we’ll continue to add links to additional albums as they make their way to us from the Lone Star State.
