Woods takes part in event for first time since 2004
老虎·伍茲2004年來首次參加活動
world's top golfers are just hours away from teeing off in this year's first major, the Masters, and the final run-up to the competition was the annual par-three contest in which many players pair up with celebrities.
The assembled media would focus heavily on Tiger Woods ahead of his return to competition, after sitting out the last two months to get his game in order.
The four-time Masters champion looks sharp as he sinks this birdie at four, cheered on by his two children as well as his girlfriend, US Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn.
Jack Nicklaus, the man who has the all-time record with 18 major championships would watch this ball hit the green and then start steadily spinning back to the cup until it drops in for a hole-in-one.
Handshakes and hugs all around, and the Golden Bear might be 75 years old, but he's still got the touch on a course where he won six titles.
Rory McIlroy's caddie for the day might be one of the few young celebrities from Britain who can upstage him in popularity, One Direction singer Niall Horan, who's inundated with photo requests throughout the session.
The reigning World Number One would look to sink a long birdie on the eighth green at the home of the only major he has yet to win, and in what might be a good omen for the Northern Irishman, the ball's right on course, and shots like that are what make his game beautiful.
The same can't be said for Horan, at least not on the golf course, as his tee shot at nine hooks into the pond, but his group's fans will continue to love him all the same, although I'm not sure Rory's buying his explanation right there.
This is Kevin Streelman putting for a birdie from the short rough at seven... it's good... and he would be the eventual winner of the par-three contest.
But Tiger lets his daughter Sam show off her skills as she taps in his par putt at six, and who knows, maybe the 14-time major champion's golf legacy will carry over to the next generation.
