The results were probably what Tiger Woods should have expected in last week's Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. In his first start in more than seven months, the 15-time major champion finished even par and 18th out of 20 players in the unofficial PGA Tour event.

More importantly, though, Woods' surgically repaired right ankle and foot didn't trouble him while walking 72 holes at Albany. He had fusion surgery April 19 to relieve post-traumatic arthritis caused by injuries in a February 2021 car wreck. Woods said last week that his right ankle was essentially "bone-on-bone" before his latest procedure.
