On Twitter, everyone was simply glad Tiger's back
Truth be told, Tiger Woods's score this week at the Hero World Challenge mattered little.
What mattered was the fact he played four rounds of competitive golf, without a grimace after each drive. His back appears fine, and he's naturally rusty, not having competed in a tournament in 15 months.
Woods finished the competition 4-under, but most everyone on Twitter was simply happy to see him on the course on a Sunday.
Here's some of the best reactions from the social world:
Can't tell you how happy it makes me to see @TigerWoods in the top 10 on a Sunday. ✊🏾💯

Seeing Tiger Woods in red is like a caffeine dart straight to the face. I'm all jacked up. #MakeSundaysGreatAgain

@TigerWoods leading this event in birdies isn't insignificant. Much easier to to eliminate bogies than to add birdies. He looked healthy too

So to recap @TigerWoods week
— Rob Strano (@robstrano) December 4, 2016
25 birdies but played the par 5s poorly by his standards and was +6 on the 18th hole
Clean up errors and 5⭐️s
Great to see @TigerWoods back and playing so well! Proved to all the "coaches" who slammed his new swing last week he can still play! 👏🏼⛳️🏌

Even the competition agrees:
"Nice to see the red shirt on Sunday again." @RickieFowler to @TigerWoods on the range
