Tiger, it's good to have you back and enjoy the week. And save me a seat tonight at dinner! ud83dude0a <a href="https://t.co/06Dsb3HBTa">pic.twitter.com/06Dsb3HBTa</a>

"Considering where his life was 17 months ago, this [is] an incredible feat," Nicklaus said.

Woods notably suffered significant injuries in a car crash that took place in February 2021, and he hasn't competed in a tournament since. His last PGA Tour event was in November 2020.

It's no surprise the 46-year-old wants to return this week for the Masters, an event he has won five times in his career.
