Tiger Woods Draws Mixed Reviews from Golf Fans in 1st Round of Genesis Invitational

Tiger Woods shot a one-over 72 on Thursday at the Genesis Invitational, marking the first time the 15-time major winner had played on the PGA Tour since April.

It was an up-and-down day from Woods, but that wasn't a surprise from the 48-year-old, who was forced to withdraw from the Masters during the third round last spring following a reaggravation of his plantar fasciitis.

He underwent fusion surgery on April 19 and didn't play in a competitive tournament again until the Hero World Challenge in December.

Now Woods has made his way back on the golf course at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.
