Tiger Woods announced on Sunday his intention to participate in one tournament per month in 2024, marking his comeback to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

The 15-time major winner finished 18th in the 20-player field at the tournament, which he hosts for the benefit of his charity.

It was the former world No. 1's first event since withdrawing during the Masters in April due to injury before he underwent ankle surgery.

The 47-year-old has kept a limited competition schedule after a 2021 car crash left him with a serious leg injury, and he said the plan for next year had been one tournament a month.

"Once a month seems reasonable," he added. "It gives me a couple of weeks to recover and a week to tune up. Maybe I can get into the rhythm," he told Golf Channel.

He said he was looking forward to playing in the PNC Championship, formerly the Father/Son Challenge, from Dec. 14 in Orlando, along with his son Charlie.

Woods, who felt "mentally rusty" after the first day's play on Thursday, said he was "ecstatic" about how the tournament turned out.

"Every day I got faster into the round. The first day it took me a while to get a handle on it. The second day was faster, and today was right away," he said in a press conference.

"I feel like my game's not that far off, but I need to get in better shape.

"I don't have the bone pain that I did, but I still have to go through the same protocols. It takes a long time; that's the unfortunate thing about aging," he said.
