Tiger Woods makes his long-awaited return to competitive action at this week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas having not played competitive golf for over 470 days.

He told reporters this week that he’s got “way more shots now” due to all the practice he’s been able to fit in during his extended break and that he “only had a handful of shots back then.” But ‘back then’ he won 79 PGA Tour titles including 14 Majors. The long-time World No.1 is now ranked 879th.

It’s hard to believe he’ll be able to pull of better shots than these pearlers in the video above from his prime.
