Last November, Tiger Woods played the Masters, finishing T38. No one expected it to be the last time they would see Woods on the course in a long, long time. This February, Woods was involved in a one-car crash, which had him sidelined for months.

As time went by without an official update on the PGA Tour legend, fans started to miss his presence. While a few updates were available, nothing was official or from Woods directly.

With his recent video on social media, Woods seems to have put the golf world out of misery. The 45-year-old is back on the course, making it clear that he means business.

However, that is not stopping fans and everyone else from celebrating a little.

Justin Thomas, who has often spoken about Woods, was one of the first people to react. He previously provided an update about Woods and looked genuinely happy about Woods’ return to the course. The Ryder Cup and Tony Finau were some others who reacted, along with NBA star Kent Bazemore.

Thomas on Woods’ recovery

Thomas has previously spoken about Woods, about how he will surely try and come back. “I don’t see him ever playing if he can’t play well. He doesn’t strike me as a guy that’s going to play at home shooting a bunch of 75s and 76s and he’s like, ‘All right, I’m gonna go give Augusta a try this year,’” he had said“That’s just not gonna be him.”
