Former world number one Tiger Woods returned to competitive golf for the first time since he was in a car crash.

Speaking to the BBC, Woods said “it just couldn’t get any better than that” after the 45-year-old who suffered serious injuries in the accident in February, partnered his 12-year-old son Charlie at the PNC Championship in Florida.

The 15-time major champion used a cart to get around the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando and looked to have a slight limp when walking.
