Tiger Woods is used to playing with large galleries following him on every hole, which makes playing without fans a major adjustment for the superstar.

"Obviously the energy is not anywhere near the same," Woods said Sunday, per Nick Pietruszkiewicz of ESPN. "There isn't the same amount of anxiety and pressure and people yelling at you and trying to grab your shirt, a hat off you. This is a very different world we live in."

The PGA Tour has played events without spectators because of the coronavirus pandemic since returning in June. Woods has competed in three official tournaments since then, including The Northern Trust which wrapped up Sunday.
