Green ties making a comeback (5)
I believe the answer is:
sward
'green' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ties making a comeback' is the wordplay.
'ties' becomes 'draws' ('draw' can be a synonym of 'tie').
'making a comeback' says the letters should be written backwards.
'draws' back-to-front is 'SWARD'.
(Other definitions for sward that I've seen before include "Grassy expanse" , "Expanse of grass" , "Extent of grass" , "Grassy area" , "Stretch of turf or grass" .)
