A week after missing the cut at the Genesis Open at Riviera, Tiger Woods opted to not play a practice round on Monday or Tuesday in preparation for this week’s Honda Classic.
However, Woods hit the course at 7 a.m. Wednesday to tee it up in the pro-am.
Our Dan Kilbridge is on the ground following Woods this morning. Here are some highlights from Woods’ day at PGA National:

Tiger in with par at 18 to cap a 5-hour, 10-minute round. Pretty good with the irons, right miss off the tee biggest issue.

Counting caddies, playing partners & others it took a search party of exactly 14 to locate Tiger’s tee shot on 18. Rough is no joke.

Another tap-in par for Tiger at 17. Played the Bear Trap par-par-par without breaking a sweat.

Tiger hasn’t made a putt all day, probably saving those for tomorrow. Another near-miss on a birdie try at 16.

Tiger enters the Bear Trap, finds front left side of the green at the par-3 15th. Lengthy birdie putt just short.

Tiger’s group slowing down quite a bit on the back, currently on 14th green. Another miss to the right off the tee.

Someone just told Tiger he’s the best and “Number 1 in our house,” which seems like something you’d say to a Tommy Fleetwood type.

Tiger just barely missed this putt for birdie at 11. Tap-in par after a bogey at 10. This is all unofficial of course. pic.twitter.com/186F8c5YgF

Another miss to the right for Tiger at 9, just barely off the fairway. Had him for 4/7 FIR with only one wild miss on the front.

Driver for Tiger at 8 and it’s perfect, middle of fairway. Third driver of the day, 2/3 have been good. Missed way right on the other.

Two off the 6th tee for Tiger, plays his second one out of a bunker from 187 into middle of the green. Sounded great.

Most intriguing thing from Tiger’s pro-am this morning: One of his partners has a set of gold clubs. Putter, driver, everything

First birdie of the day for Tiger at No. 3. Maybe 60-70 fans following right now, guessing there will be a few more tomorrow.

First driver of the day for Tiger in middle of the fairway at the par-5 3rd. Also, some guy in his group just launched driver off the deck.

Tiger doing a little extra chipping and pitching around the greens. No practice round here Monday or Tuesday, and hasn’t played here since 2014.

Tiger going with iron off the tee on first two holes, which apparently makes it easier to find the fairway.

Tiger Woods just arrived to first tee for the Honda pro-am and there is exactly 1 golfer in the world who could get me to course at 6 a.m.
