Tiger’s back: All the best social as Tiger Woods returns to the golf course
The 15-time Major Champion played his first round of golf in public since his car accident in February.
It was only the pro-am in a silly season event, but the first public sighting of Tiger Woods on a golf course since his car accident in February still felt significant.
The main tournament starts on Saturday, with the Woods pairing playing alongside Justin Thomas and his father Mike in the first round.

Tiger missed this shot right to par-5 fifth. A lot to like about his swing. So much more, obviously, will go into this. pic.twitter.com/wQ5Z1wxCMU
