Tiger Woods has returned to the green for the first time since backing out of the Masters in April because of a foot injury.
Woods, 48, hosts the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, and he headlines the pro-am tournament at Albany Golf Club.
In his first time competing in the challenge since 2019, Woods carded a 3-over 75 in the first round.
Here are some of the best moments from Woods' return:
