Tiger Woods: Eyes of the world on five-time Masters winner at AugustaBy Issy Ronald and Ben Morse, CNN(CNN) -- Tiger Woods has teed off in the first round of the Masters on Thursday as he embarked on a remarkable comeback following a serious car crash in February 2021 in which he sustained serious leg injuries. Five-time Masters champion Woods is playing in Group 14, alongside South African Louis Oosthuizen and Chilean Joaquin Niemann, though the first round of the 2022 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club tournament was delayed due to inclement weather in Augusta, Georgia. After hitting his opening drive, Woods received more cheers from the crowd. This is not an easy walk to begin with," Woods said to the PGA Tour, referring to Augusta's hilly course. "He's Tiger Woods, so I'm not worried about watching him hit a ball ever because he's the best player I've ever seen play," Couples added.
