Wood has confirmed he will play the 2017 Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas next month.
The veteran golfer, 41, has not played since withdrawing from the Dubai Desert Classic back in February.
“I am excited to return to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge,” Woods said.
“Albany is the perfect setting and it will be great to join this outstanding field.
“I want to thank Pawan Munjal and Hero MotoCorp for their continued support of this tournament and my foundation.
“I would also like to thank the fans for their unwavering support during my injury.”
Woods underwent back surgery back in April, missing the Masters for a second year running.
Three days ago he pleaded guilty to reckless driving in a deal to keep him out of jail.
He was arrested last spring after he was found passed out in his Mercedes.
A toxicology report revealed Woods had two different painkillers, a sleeping drug and anti-anxiety medication in his system but no alcohol.
