Tiger Woods has admitted that winning the Tour Championship would enhance his successful return to golf, according to a report on Yahoo Sports.
Woods returned the sport one year ago after struggling for the first few months, he put his putting woes behind him and played some of the best golf this year.
The American could barely walk one year ago as he continued to recover from multiple surgeries on his back but he is now grateful to even be challenging for trophies.
The former world number one made a fine start to the Tour Championship and took a share in the one-shot lead on Thursday.
When asked what winning the trophy would do for him, he said:
It would just enhance the year. To be able to play golf again and to earn my way back to this level is something that I was hoping I would do at the beginning of the year, but I didn’t know. And I’ve done it.
Woods has finished in second place at two events this year, the most recent one being the US PGA Championship. He was also handed a wildcard pick for the US Ryder Cup side as he searches for his first win since returning to the golf course.
