It marked his return to the tee for the first time since April’s Masters after injuring his ankle.

And Woods revealed a bold new look reminiscent of basketball legend Jordan as he rocked up to Sunday morning’s session.

Wearing a skintight sports vest, Woods showed off his bulging muscles while making his way to the pavilion.

Woods completed the look with sunglasses and a baseball cap, as well as grey shorts.

But he also included a black-and-red brace on his right leg.

And fans couldn’t contain their excitement, with NBA icon Jordan known for rocking the same style during his basketball heyday.

One fan said: “The Jordan brace! Goat recognises Goat.”

Another declared: “Yoked. Good to have Tiger back, golf is better with Tiger.”

One noted: “Thought this was an NFL player walking into the stadium then I realised it was Tiger.”

Another added: “Unprecedented swagger.”

Unfortunately for Woods, he started the final day of the Hero World Challenge third-bottom of the leaderboard.

Scottie Scheffler began Sunday at the top on -16, three better than the likes of Matt Fitzpatrick and Colin Morikawa.

Last year’s event was won by fan favourite Viktor Hovland.

But he could only tie for 12th on -7 going into the final session.
