Tiger Woods got off to a fast (if chilly) start at the Quail Hollow Champhionship April 29, 2010, in Charlotte, N.C.

This is Woods' first tournament since the Masters, his 2010 debut that followed a five-month hiatus and ensuing sex scandal.

Woods began his second PGA Tour event this season with a birdie on the par-5 10th hole on Thursday. He gave that stroke back, however, with a bogey two holes later at Quail Hollow Club. Here, he lines up a putt on the 13th green.

Woods looks for his ball under a tree on the 14th hole.

Woods is armed with two-plus weeks of work on what didn't go right at Augusta. "There were some things I didn't like in my golf swing, so I started to work on that, simplify things a little bit, got everything more fine-tuned," Woods said Wednesday. "And I feel very comfortable."

Woods got a rousing welcome from a chilly, early morning crowd when he was announced on the 10th tee. Then he gave them more to cheer about with a near-perfect drive down the center.
