Tiger Woods is back in action, and here is how he is doing at the PGA Championship

Tiger Woods wandering Southern Hills Country Club alone at the PGA Championship would attract interest. But for the first two rounds of the year's second major, Woods will be in the marquee group of marquee groups — with Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth alongside him.

Woods enters the event admittedly stronger than he was a month ago at the Masters, where he made his return to competitive golf after 14 months away because of a single-car crash in February 2021 that nearly cost him his right leg.

So, can he contend? Woods has also said he doesn't enter a tournament unless he thinks he can win.

We chart his every movement during the first round of the PGA Championship:

There are still 71 holes remaining, but the first hole of Woods' PGA Championship could not have gone any better. He striped a 3-wood 339 yards, which, of course, came with a club twirl. He then perfectly executed a little wedge from 95 yards to 3 feet. That putt was right in the center, and he began his tour around Southern Hills with a picture-perfect birdie.
