Tiger Woods is (hopefully) on his way back to the PGA Tour… but not everyone will be thrilled.

Woods continues to recover from leg injuries sustained during his horror car crash in Los Angeles in February, but to the delight of many golf fans around the world, the former World No.1 played and finished second with his 12-year-old son Charlie Woods at the PNC Championship last month.

While great to see Woods back on the course, it remains to be seen how many tournaments the 15-time major champion will be able to compete in on the PGA Tour in 2022.

It’s fair to say not everyone is buzzing about the return of Woods though, especially these seven:

Tiger Woods: his 7 biggest PUBLIC ENEMIES on the PGA Tour

1 – PAT PEREZ

The world of golf never knew Pat Perez felt so strongly about Tiger Woods.

That was until he spoke about the former World No.1 during his very own Sirius XM Show back in 2017.

“The bottom line is, he knows he can’t beat anybody,” said Perez.

“He’s got this new corporation that he started so he’s got to keep his name relevant to keep the corporation going.

“He’s going to show up to a few events, he’s going to try to play. He’s gotta go out there and show the Monster Bag, he’s going to show the TaylorMade driver.

“He’s going to get on TV, he’s got the Nike clothes, he’s gotta keep that stuff relevant.”

Perez later backtracked on his comments and told the media his words were taken out of context.

“I had an opinion on Tiger, and I said it,” he told ESPN.

“No one wants to see Tiger come back, compete and win again more than me.”

Perez and Woods reportedly traded messages back and forth following those comments, and Woods was understandably miffed by them.

Woods then went on to land his 15th career major at The Masters in 2019, before later going on to win the ZOZO Championship on the PGA Tour to enter the record books as the joint leading winner on the circuit.

2 – SERGIO GARCIA

If there was one duel the world of golf expected to see more of, it was of Woods and Sergio Garcia.

With the exception of the final round of the 1999 US PGA Championship, when a fresh-faced Garcia ran Woods close for the title only to be denied on the closing holes, their battle has only intensified outside of the ropes.

“The reason Tiger dislikes him is that in the clubhouse once he saw Sergio looking up at a television monitor and rooting somebody’s golf ball out of the hole… that’s why he has no use of Sergio,” said Woods’ late father Earl.

Woods and Garcia’s biggest spat came on the golf course in 2013 at The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Woods apparently pulled a club while Garcia went on to mishit his shot… before throwing his toys out the pram. There have been differing accounts as to what exactly happened, but Sergio was clearly not happy.

Their feud intensified further when Garcia made what was deemed by many as a racially insensitive joke about Woods at an awards dinner ahead of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

Garcia and Woods do not like each other, and it’s now very much a case of keeping their heads down when they bump into each other in the locker room
