Ten months after his right leg was badly damaged in a car crash, Tiger Woods is returning to competition next week with his 12-year-old son Charlie in the PNC Championship.

Woods tweeted that although it has been a long and challenging year, he is very excited to close it out by competing in the PNC Championship with his son.

Woods and his son came in seventh place a year ago in the unofficial event that pairs family members.

The PNC Championship was formerly known as the Father-Son Challenge until it changed the title to be more inclusive of family members.
