Welcome back big guy

Some business to attend to first – Jordan Spieth won his second golf tournament in a week as he captured the Hero World Challenge with a four-round total of 26 under par.

Now to the reason we are all here – How did Tiger get on? In a word, okay.

The former world number one kicked off his comeback from a gammy back with an opening round of 77, on Thursday. He improved upon that score, despite battling a vomiting bug, with 70 and 69 in rounds two and three.

Woods closed out with a level par round of 72 to finish on even for the tournament. Having occupied last place all week, Woods was joined at the bottom of the leaderboard by Hunter Mahan after he finished with a 75.

This 42-foot par-saver on the 14th (below) was the highlight for Woods. It arrived the hole after the American recorded a triple bogey eight on the par five 13th.

Graeme McDowell finished tied for 11th on eight-under while Henrik Stenson was second, 10 shots back, on 16-under.
