Tiger 支持を得ようと努めるd returns to ゴルフ with the same belief he can 勝利，勝つ
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Tiger 支持を得ようと努めるd feels good enough to play at Riviera, his first tournament with a 削減（する） and without a cart since the British Open last July. He already is looking ahead to the Masters. And yes, he thinks he can 勝利，勝つ.
"I would not have put myself out here if I didn't think I could （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 these guys," 支持を得ようと努めるd said Tuesday ahead of the Genesis Invitational, which has attracted 19 of the 最高の，を越す 20 players in the world.
He also is 井戸／弁護士席 aware that he has not won since October 2019, and that at age 47 and with more 外科s than major 肩書を与えるs (15), time is running out. He knows that. He's just not やめる ready to 受託する it.
He marvels at how long Tom Brady lasted. He remembers when John Elway retired from the Denver Broncos because his 団体／死体 could no longer 回復する the way it once did. ゴルフ is not a 接触する sport, but it has become a young man's game. Only two of the 最高の，を越す 10 players in ゴルフ are in their 30s. The oldest is Rory McIlroy at 33.
支持を得ようと努めるd can play. The question is whether he can compete, whether he can 勝利，勝つ. He remains at 82 career PGA 小旅行する 肩書を与えるs, a 記録，記録的な／記録する he 株 with Sam Snead, who was 67 when he made the 削減（する） at a PGA 選手権.
Part of 支持を得ようと努めるd was annoyed that he was celebrated for making the 削減（する） in the Masters last year, his first 競争 since a February 2021 car 衝突，墜落 outside Los Angeles 粉々にするd bones in his 権利 脚 and ankle.

"I'm there to get a W, 承認する? So I don't understand that making the 削減（する） is a 広大な／多数の／重要な thing," 支持を得ようと努めるd said. "If I entered the event, it´s always to get a W. There will come a point in time when my 団体／死体 will not 許す me to do that anymore, and it´s probably sooner rather than later. But wrapping my ahead around that 移行 and 存在 the 外交官／大使 役割 and just trying to be out here with the guys, no, that´s not in my デオキシリボ核酸."
He played that 外交官／大使 役割 last year at the Genesi s Invitational as the tournament host. He also is 主要な the 私的な player 会合s geared toward building a new PGA 小旅行する model of エリート tournaments as a 返答 to Saudi-基金d LIV ゴルフ.
His 告示 Friday that he was playing led to a 緊急発進する for マスコミ 信任状. The 支援する of the 圧力（をかける） room in the Riviera clubhouse was lined with some two dozen photographers waiting for him to show up for his news 会議／協議会.
Justin Rose watched in December as 支持を得ようと努めるd played with his son at the PNC 選手権, riding in a cart. 支持を得ようと努めるd has been 説 he can 攻撃する，衝突する all the 発射s, that it's walking to them that makes it difficult.
"ーに関して／ーの点でs of the important part of can you 攻撃する，衝突する a ゴルフ ball, can you get a ball in the 穴を開ける, all of that seemed to be really in order," Rose said. "But we know that´s definitely not the thing he struggles with, 権利? It´s 明白に the physical 味方する of putting together four 一連の会議、交渉／完成するs of ゴルフ. (It's) a really good 調印する to see him in the field and feeling willing and able to get out here."
支持を得ようと努めるd had planned to play in his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas the first week of December, but in 加速するing his practice he developed plantar fasciitis that kept him from walking. He said he still 対処するs with plantar fasciitis, only it has become manageable. The ankle is what gives him problems.
He 用意が出来ている for Riviera - and the Masters, and whatever else can follow - with a more 卒業生（する）d practice of hitting ゴルフ balls, walking the course until he became tired, and then walking a little more until he could get in 18 穴を開けるs.
What to 推定する／予想する? Not even 支持を得ようと努めるd knows.
期待s have run the gamut du （犯罪の）一味 his incomparable career. He once went two whole months in 2001 without winning, and the cover of a ゴルフ magazine said, "What's wrong with Tiger?" He went on to 勝利，勝つ his next three starts, 含むing the Masters.
Now it's whether he's kidding himself about winning.
支持を得ようと努めるd no longer is 動機づけるd by naysayers, a 製品 of age and 成熟, with a dose of reality. He knows his last 勝利，勝つ was the Zozo 選手権 in Japan in 2019, which was six months after he won the Masters.
Before his 支援する fusion 外科 in 2017, when it was a struggle just to walk, 支持を得ようと努めるd had 推論する／理由 to wonder if he would ever play. He thinks he can （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, the new No. 1 in ゴルフ. But there is more 感謝 about 簡単に playing.
"Those 支援する 操作／手術s were 堅い," he said. "That 証明するd to myself more than anything that I could still do it. ... 最終的に, it's within me and whether or not I believe I can do it. It's not the 動機づけるing factor of outside."
As for the 残り／休憩（する） of the year, 支持を得ようと努めるd only knows it will be a 限られた／立憲的な schedule of the majors and maybe a few more. That's a good 予測（する）. He was at Los Angeles Country Club on Monday riding around in a cart to look at the North course ahead of the U.S. Open.
The end is sooner rather than later, but it's not now.
