AUGUSTA, Ga. — Can’t watch Tiger Woods in his second round on Friday at the 2022 Masters Tournament? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
The 15-time major champion and five-time winner of the green jacket made his return to competitive golf at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday, signing for an impressive 1-under 71 a little more than a year after his single-car accident that caused severe damage to his right leg, foot and ankle.
Woods tees off at 1:41 a.m. ET alongside 2022 Genesis Invitational winner Joaquin Niemann, but without Louis Oosthuizen, who withdrew before the round.

Fore please, now driving, Tiger Woods. He went right just short of the fairway bunkers on Thursday but this one is on the beach. From there Tiger has 145 yards to the pin with a little room to get over the high edges of the trap. Playing in a twosome, Woods and Niemann will have to wait quite a bit, which doesn’t bode too well for his rhythm and limbs. Well, he did well to scramble and get up-and-down for par yesterday, and he’ll have to do the same again after this one misses the green to the right.
The Big Cat showed out on Thursday in a mock neck Azalea-colored top but is more neutral warming up today with a light green shirt, navy sweater and pants and white shoes (FootJoy, not Nike).
Woods looked comfortable and in control yesterday, only wincing once after yanking his tee shot to the left on No. 9. Let’s see how how he handles the blustery conditions between the Georgia Pines today. If he’s under par today, that’s great. Par itself is a good enough score to keep him around for the weekend and within striking distance of the leaders.
