Shot-by-shot analysis: Tiger Woods shoots 2-under 70 Friday at 2023 Hero World Challenge

Woods is trying to improve on an opening 3-over 75.

Another day, another late morning and afternoon glued to the TV watching Tiger Woods in his return to competitive golf.

Big Cat returned Thursday for the first time since the Masters in April, shooting 3-over 75 at the 2023 Hero World Challenge in a round that started promising and dropped off toward the end. There was no shortage of excitement from Woods, however, and it was encouraging to see him moving freely throughout the day.

He sat 18th in the 20-person field after the opening day.

Woods teed off in the second round with Rickie Fowler at 11:02 a.m. ET. Check out his Friday round with shot-by-shot analysis below from Albany in the Bahamas.
