Not sure how he did it given the circumstances… but it’s why he’s the #GOAT.

Slowed everything down.
Stayed in the moment.

What a performance (once again) from @TigerWoods. pic.twitter.com/iEeb00skSb

.@TigerWoods isn't human. Shooting a -1 at @TheMasters after almost losing his leg a little over a year ago. Just an incredible display of will. #themasters

Tiger Woods was under par in the first round of the 2022 Masters. Who ever expected to see or hear those words?

A FABULOUS effort by @TigerWoods as he is 1 under for his return . INCREDIBLE after what he went thru after his major car accident . GOLF interest goes to another level when he is involved . @TheMasters @ESPNPR

Tiger Woods is now -103 all time @TheMasters

Lowest score to par in the history of the tournament.

Phil Mickelson is next at -72

Tiger Woods was pulled from a mangled single-car accident wreckage 14 months ago. He just opened #theMasters with a one-under-par 71. Unreal story

Watching Tiger in the Masters is something special. Just shot a 71 after not playing competitively for over 500 days 🐅 #themasters #tigerwoods pic.twitter.com/aSvOnjouLE

I don’t think it can be overstated how incredible @TigerWoods performance was today. The man was lucky to survive a car wreck and damn near lost his leg 14 mos. ago. Just fired a 71 at the Masters for a tie for 9th in the first round. He’s 1st tournament since the 2020 Masters. pic.twitter.com/XnXJ5ryFsd

People have spent decades glorifying & idolizing Tiger, giving him the most attention of any golfer, maybe any athlete ever. Those same people are now in awe & disbelief of his performance today. Why are we surprised, acting as if it’s impossible? He’s Tiger Woods. #themasters

Tiger Woods will be happy going into day two on one-under-par 🐐#theMasters | @TigerWoods

I love not having to ask for golf on TV when I am out at a brewery. #themasters

In his first round of competitive golf in 508 days and coming back from what was essentially a shattered leg, Tiger Woods shoots a 1-under par at the opening round of The Masters.

Incredible.
