Golf is better with a healthy Tiger Woods in it, and he was back to his best at the Hero World Challenge as he shot the lowest score of the day, a six-under bogey-free round, to leave golf fans smiling at seeing the living legend getting back into the swing of things so quickly.
Before making his comeback, Woods explained that he knew he would have to be patient with his game, but he didn't have to wait long until he was looking like his old self, carding three birdies on the front and back nine.

Speaking after the fact, Woods was not getting carried away and pointed out a number of mistakes he made as he was asked to look back over his impressive day's work.
But you could see the grin on his face when discussing the recovery shot on the 8th hole. It was vintage Tiger.
Tiger takes us through his bogey-free 65.

Great to have him back, and while today was just one round, it's a sign that he's still got it in him and hopefully he can kick on we'll see more of Woods at his best soon.
