ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tiger Woods knows the challenges he faces, understands the physical limitations that will hamper him, realizes that this week at the PNC Championship is just one small step -- however painful -- on his way back from a serious car crash.
All of that perspective served him well as he played his first competitive round of golf in a year in what is considered an offseason family event for major champions.
Playing with his son, Charlie, for the second straight year -- "Charlie's going to be carrying you guys I guess,'' Justin Thomas quipped on the first hole -- Woods showed flashes of the 15-time major champion but plenty of reminders of the long journey he faces.
