Tiger Woods is on track to make his competitive return to golf in two weeks at the Hero World Challenge, having had time to practice and prepare recently after he aborted his expected return last month at the Safeway Open in California.Woods agent, Mark Steinberg, told ESPN on Tuesday that Woods is getting after it a bit more, continuing to work toward that goal and excited to get back out there and compete, see the guys and be in the locker room instead of being an assistant captain, as the golfer was during the U.S. Ryder Cup victory.The decision to withdraw from the Safeway event in October -- where Woods had intended to return, committed on the Friday prior and then changed his mind three days later -- was never about his determination.The determination is still there, Steinberg told ESPN. Weve still got two weeks to go, but he is doing the things necessary to get himself as ready as he can be, but its going to be 15 months since the last time he played competitively.Woods last tournament was a tie for 10th at the Wyndham Championship in August 2015. Since then, he has had two back procedures and went some six months without swinging a club.His rehabilitation was slow and deliberate, and Woods spent much of this year not publicly committing to any timetable. On Sept. 7, Woods, 40, announced a tentative return date at the Safeway Open, but said just three days before that my game is vulnerable and it is not where it needs to be.After celebrating the 20th anniversary of his Tiger Woods Foundation and going on a media tour, Woods has been able to get back to work on his golf.Steinberg would not say if Woods is limited in any way -- those are questions hell answer and he can certainly give a better perspective than me; and theyll be more relevant two weeks from now -- but made clear again that his decision to skip the Safeway tournament was not related to any physical problems.The 14-time major champion will be joined at the Dec. 1-4 tournament in the Bahamas by defending champion Bubba Watson, U.S. Open winner Dustin Johnson, Open champion Henrik Stenson?and?PGA winner Jimmy Walker, as well as Jordan Spieth, Zach Johnson, Justin Rose and Matt Kuchar.Woods has won the event five times -- the last time in 2011 when it was played at Sherwood Country Club in California. He did not play in the tournament a year ago as he was just six weeks removed from a second back procedure.The 18-man tournament is considered unofficial on the PGA Tour, but it does award World Ranking points. Not competing for more than a year has taken a toll on Woods ranking: He has dropped to 861st in the world.Eduardo Escobar Jersey .5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of there with a win.

Coming in on Mondays, Wednesday and Tuesdays, the vibe and the atmosphere are so much better. Just winning period is a good feeling. We are starting to believe.San Diego handed Denver a 21-13 loss a week after Atlanta dealt Denver its first loss of the season.They have some interesting stats, said Broncos coach Gary Kubiak, who was sidelined by illness for the earlier meeting between the teams. I think theyve held the lead more than anybody in this league right now. Theyve just lost some games late, but played really well.They obviously got after us and went to Atlanta and beat a really good football team on the road. Theyre playing well. (San Diego quarterback) Philip 1/8Rivers 3/8 is playing well. Defensively, theyre very active. (Defensive end Joey) Bosa is playing a big part right now so well have to play a lot better than we did a couple of weeks ago, I know that.Showcasing a resurgent running game and efficient play from quarterback Trevor Siemian, the Broncos got back on track last week with a 27-9 win over Houston.And the rematch with San Diego comes in Denver this time. For their part, the Chargers have not won on the road against a division foe since beating the Raiders in Oakland 31-28 on Oct. 12, 2014. The Chargers have not swept a season series against the Broncos since 2010.Be that as it may, with Rivers as productive as ever and Bosa blossoming as a rookie pass rusher the Chargers are in a pretty good place heading into Sundays contest.I think our attitude has been good, Bosa said. Nobody really ever got down even after those few losses in a row. We just tried to keep our head up in the locker room, feed off of each other and keep a positive attitude moving forward. Affter getting that win on Thursday night (against the Broncos), I think it really boosted the positivity and the belief in the locker room and now were just feeding off that, especially with another win on Sunday.ddddddddddddSan Diego coach Mike McCoy said the Chargers know better than to automatically assume a repeat of their first encounter with Denver.That ones behind us now, he said. You cant worry about that one and the last couple of weeks. You got to go on to the next one and play better this week.Denvers defense re-asserted itself in the win over Houston, limiting the Texans to three field goals and the unit is anxious to show its mettle the second time around against the Chargers.Thats definitely the case, Broncos safety Darien Stewart said. Im happy to be playing them again this early. Were looking forward to it. We still had a bad taste in our mouths even last week and last game. Were ready for them.Both teams have their share of injuries that they are dealing with heading into the game.Denver running back C.J. Anderson, who had his first 100-yard rushing game last week, will miss the contest after undergoing knee surgery to repair meniscus damage.
