Tiger Woods nervous ahead of return but winning remains the target

This might be one time that Tiger Woods doesn’t measure success on the golf course by the score on his card.

He measured it with three words on Tuesday: “I’m playing again.”

There were times during his 15 months away from golf that Woods wasn’t entirely sure that would be the case. He said that when he was at the Hero World Challenge last year, he needed help just to climb out of bed. At an outdoor party at Albany Golf Club, he would mingle for a few minutes and then sit on a stone bench.
