Following the round, Fred Couples weighed in on how Tiger  looked.

“He looked phenomenal,” Couples said after the nine holes. “He’s my favorite guy. What impresses me the most is he was bombing it for one. If you want to talk golf, he was bombing it. I know JT is not the longest hitter on the Tour, but I know he’s damn long. He was with him flushing it.

“It’s a Monday, right, but he didn’t miss many shots.”

Woods showed no signs of injury .

“He didn’t putt much, but it’s Tiger Woods, he knows how to putt, he knows how to play this course,” Couples said. “And the driver was a machine. He hit it in the bunker on 2 but he smoked it, drove it pin high almost on 3. He looks great. The sound of the ball — so I’m comparing it to JT who’s a top-two, top-three player in the world. They both looked good. JT looked very good, too.”

Woods did not speak with the media but is scheduled for a media session this morning.
