Tiger traded length for accuracy off the tee with driver tweak

NASSAU, Bahamas – Despite an otherwise pedestrian day that added up to a 1-over 73 on Thursday at the Hero World Challenge, there was a silver lining for Tiger Woods.

For the round, Woods hit 12 of 13 fairways and regularly outdrove Justin Thomas, with whom he was paired on Day 1 at Albany.

“I didn't quite feel comfortable with my game today even though I drove it great,” said Woods, who is tied for 16th in the 18-man field.

Woods’ driving, which had become something of a liability in recent years, was a big part of his success in 2018.
