WINDERMERE, Fla. Thomas Meunier Jersey . - Tiger Woods has more comebacks than top 10s this year in golf.He makes his second return to competition Thursday in his Hero World Challenge at Isleworth, an unofficial event of 18 players from the top 50 in the world ranking. The tournament has been seen as the end of a long year for some players, and a launching pad into the new year for others.Woods is somewhere in the middle.He hasnt played since Aug. 9 when he missed the cut at the PGA Championship, choosing to sit out nearly four months to get his body stronger and make sure he is fully recovered this time from back surgery earlier in the year.Woods already passed one test on Wednesday in the pro-am, except it had nothing to do with his swing or his back.It was about his legs. He walked 18 holes of golf.I havent done that since the PGA, he said.Woods recorded a few birdies, a bogey and none of it was meaningful. The best measure is Thursday when the tournament gets underway.Here are five things to look for at Isleworth, the course where Woods spent his first 16 years on tour.THE COMEBACK, PART V: This is the fifth time Woods has come back from an injury-induced layoff, whether it was one month or four months.He tied for fourth at the Masters in 2010 when he returned from the minor physical (car accident) and major emotional (infidelity) wounds. He tied for 37th at the Bridgestone Invitational in 2011 after sitting out nearly three months to let his legs fully heal. He missed one month and two tournaments after an injury to his elbow in 2013 and tied for sixth in the British Open. And he missed the cut at Congressional this year after returning from back surgery.THE ODDS: The injury-filled season that allowed Woods to play in only eight tournaments led to his first year that he failed to register a top 10 on the PGA Tour. He gets one last chance at Isleworth to pick up a top 10 in the calendar year.The odds are in his favour because only 18 players are at Isleworth.Woods has won his World Challenge five times, all of them at Sherwood Country Club. But he knows Isleworth even better, having once lived across from the driving range. Woods holds the course record set nearly two decades ago when he shot 59.THE BACK: Woods didnt how any sign of pain when he returned from back surgery in the Quicken Loans National at Congressional in June. He didnt really have any more issues with his back until the final round at Firestone, when he hopped into a bunker from a steep lip and jarred his lower back. Thats when he realized his muscle structure wasnt strong enough, and it led to his decision of taking time off.One positive sign Wednesday was when he hopped off a 4-foot wall behind the 10th tee, then trotted to the clubhouse to use the bathroom. There were no issues.THE SWING: With his health seemingly improved, most of the focus will be on his swing. Woods fired swing coach Sean Foley during his time off and began working with Chris Como, a specialist in biomechanics and listening. Woods had an idea of what he should do with his swing, and he was elated to learn that Como had the same idea.Woods describes it as new, but old, having relied on tapes of his swing dating to when he was an amateur. It looked vaguely familiar to Steve Stricker.Looks a lot similar to early 2000s to me, from the side when I was watching, Stricker said. Looked like the swing was going through a lot freer, like it was on a better path.THE CAMEO: Now you see him, now you dont.Golf Channel has plans for wall-to-wall coverage of Woods playing in the World Challenge. This is the largest media gathering at a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament since the Tour Championship. When he walked off the 18th green after his pro-am, Woods was surrounded by more than dozen reporters.Woods playing golf again is a big deal. Next up is another break.This is the last golf tournament of the year. Woods wont be in Hawaii to start 2015. He has never played the Humana Challenge. He hasnt been to the Phoenix Open since 2001. He is not planning to go to the Middle East. If he sticks to his regular schedule of starting at Torrey Pines, this will be his last competition for two months. Thibaut Courtois Jersey . At times during a solid but not spectacular season, they looked all three. Still the defending AFC champions persevered, riding their top-ranked defence and key contributions from younger players to a 12-4 record and their eighth playoff appearance since 2000, remarkable consistency in a league where change is the only constant. Adnan Januzaj Jersey .com) - Nate Buss 3-pointer with 5. http://www.soccerbelgiumfansshop.com/Jan-Vertonghen-UEFA-European-Belgium-Jersey/ .ca has you covered for whos in, whos out and what to expect from all 30 teams.Rangers manager Mark Warburton is happy with the progress his team is making ahead of the new Scottish Premiership season. The Ibrox side won their third League Cup game in six days without conceding a goal as they were 3-0 victors at Lowland League side East Stirlingshire.A potentially tricky tie on an awkward artificial pitch was negotiated with relative ease as an early Andy Halliday penalty and Josh Windass first goal for the club had Rangers 2-0 up at the break. Joe Dodoo added a third and although they should have won by more, Warburton is content his men are heading in the right direction.Rangers now play one more pool game against Stranraer on Monday then a friendly with Burnley before they start their league campaign against Hamilton on August 6, live on Sky Sports. Josh Windass celebrates his first competitive goal for Rangers since his summer move from Accrington Former Brentford coach Warburton said: It could have been more. Ive not seen the stats yet but we had a lot of possession.Maybe we could have tested their keeper a bit more, especially in the second half, but we kept trying to do the right thing on a difficult surface against a very willing opponent.You can always talk about scoring more goals but I thought we did a very professional job and now we move on to game four. Andy Halliday converts a penalty to put Rangers ahead at Ochilview I would agree that the longer we get into the season the rustiness will ease off and those chances will go in. Simon Mignolet Jersey. . Against Motherwell last week we could have scored four or five in the second half.It was the same on Tuesday night against Annan and the same here. Were getting in good shape and hopefully on Monday we can finish off with a positive display.Warburton took heart from the impact Windass and Dodoo - two of his nine summer signings so far - made as Rangers all but assured themselves of a last-16 place. Warburton gave Joe Dodoo his debut at East Stirlingshire and was happy to see the youngster score He added: I was pleased for Josh and Joe. You saw with Josh he was very willing to get forward. He showed real bravery, composure and technique in the first half.Joe gave us some real pace as well, which is what we wanted to add to the squad. Hes very confident in his touch too so Im delighted for him getting his goal.
