But after an opening-round score of 64 today - Woods' best round in two years - it certainly didn't feel like he was new to the course or struggling with his game.
His round began with a birdie the hard way - he missed the green on this approach, but holed out a flop shot to get himself below par early.

Even these are going in for Tiger right now. He's 5 under. Watch live: http://t.co/WywtRLOLiq http://t.co/On3slX61LW

He laughed it off and gave a nice little Jordan Shrug to the crowd.

In all, he finished with a very solid 64, tallying 7 birdies and just one bogey. This round marked his best score since the 2013 WGC Bridgestone, where he shot a 61.
Consistency has been Woods' kryptonite this season, and he'll need a solo second place finish (or better) to qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Still, it's great to see Tiger playing well and looking like he actually enjoys the sport of golf.
