Highlights from Woods' first round at the Hero World Challenge

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:
