Video of Tiger Woods Flubbing a Chip Into a Bunker Is As Relatable As It Gets

Tiger Woods has returned at the Hero World Challenge this week for his first competitive event since the Masters. It's a 20-man, no-cut event in the Bahamas, and naturally all eyes are on Woods.

Tiger himself admitted on Thursday after an opening-round 75 that he was mentally rusty. Still, overall he looked impressive while playing most of his round near level par.

But the short game can always use some fine tuning, as a video of Woods at the practice green, shot by SI Golf's Bob Harig, has gone viral.
