Social media was thrilled Thursday morning before Tiger Woods’ tee time at the Hero World Challenge

Tiger Woods Golf Hero World Challenge the Hero World Challenge

Christmas doesn’t come for another 25 days, but some people (especially golf fans) woke up Thursday morning feeling rather joyful.

The reason? Tiger Woods was playing in a competitive golf tournament for the first time in nearly eight months. Big Cat gets going at 11:52 a.m. ET playing with Justin Thomas in the 2023 Hero World Challenge at Albany in the Bahamas.

No one gets social media talking in the golf world like Woods, and fans from everywhere were chiming in to mark the return of Woods and celebrate him being back in the competitive fold.

Here’s a look at some of the best reactions on social media to Woods’ return, including from a former major champion.

"You'll be working."
