Tiger Woods is back! In his first official round back after 301 day layoff Tiger shot a 3 under par 69 to put himself in contention at the Hero World challenge in the Bahamas on Thursday.
After today’s round, Tiger spoke to the media and even he was a little shocked at how well he played after being away from the game for so long.

“I hadn’t played in a while after some of the difficulties I’ve been though, to come out and score like I did. It was nice, it was fun to be a part of a scorecard again…I didn’t know what I could do, I’ve been playing golf, I’ve been playing a lot of holes at home but it’s a little different when you have to tee it up in a tournament. I had a lot of adrenaline going there I was hitting the ball a little longer than I normally do and I had to dial that back a bit and those are the internal struggles that haven’t been through as a player in awhile.
Of course, everyone had to make the same exact joke about Tiger shooting a 69 because everyone has the maturity of a school child.

Tiger shot a 69 today. Pretty sure he’d be happy with three more 69s through the weekend.

Tiger shooting 69 in his comeback round is the most perfect thing ever.

All jokes aside it’s awesome to see Tiger back and being competitive again.
