Tiger Woods is officially back in the mix. His round fell apart a bit at the end and the 15-time major champion signed for a 3-over 75 and is eight back of the lead after the first round of the 2023 Hero World Challenge at Albany in The Bahamas. He’ll be paired with Rickie Fowler in Friday’s second round.
Brian Harman and Tony Finau are tied for the lead at 5 under, while Jordan Spieth, who had an adventurous day, is in solo third at 4 under. Cameron Young, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Max Homa sit at T-5 after matching 3-under 68s. Two-time defending champion Viktor Hovland opened with a 1-over 73 and is solo 16th in the 20-man field.
