Tiger Woods is back on the golf course this week to kick off his silly season return to competition.
The 15-time major champion is teeing it up at the 2023 Hero World Challenge at Albany in the Bahamas, the unofficial PGA Tour event hosted by Woods that benefits his TGR Foundation. Woods, 47, will then once again team up with his state-champion son, Charlie, for the annual family hit-and-giggle at the 2023 PNC Championship in Florida next month.
Woods is a five-time winner at the Hero (his last win came in 2011) and he has also finished runner-up on five occasions. He has yet to win the event since it moved to Albany.
Here are the best photos of Woods on the course at the 2023 Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
