From golf fans to tour pros there was certainly a buzz across social media as Tiger returned to action
In case you’ve been living under a rock then you’ll know Tiger Woods made his long-awaited competitive return on Thursday.
And, suitably, the internet lost its mind.
We pick out the best from across social media:

He's flagging irons. I'm preparing my will in case I'm gone by the time someone comes home.

Because of his physical limitations rotating, Tiger's early swings seem far more restrained. Gotta believe that will help him keep the ball in play more often.

Got to say, I am a little intrigued to watch a certain @TigerWoods play some Golf this evening… ?

Should I have been so eager for Tiger to be back? #EasyTiger

Tiger is the only player that can say "BE GOOD!" on the 3rd hole of the tournament and everyone loves it ???
Great to have you back @TigerWoods ???— Tony Finau Golf (@tonyfinaugolf) November 30, 2017
Timing is everything as @TigerWoods turns 4 into 6 on the 9th hole! Chipping looks particularly nasty around the greens so wouldn’t read anything into that particular chip.

Great to see @tigerwoods back on the golfcourse playing golf again!
Looks strong and good? #tiger #legend— Joost Luiten (@joostluiten) November 30, 2017

In case you didn’t read the 3 million tweets before, just a little heads up.. “el tigre” is back.

Say what you want about Tiger’s chipping, but that chip on 17 was fantastic.
