Tiger Woods nearly made an albatross at Seminole Pro-Member

Brad Faxon has revealed how Tiger Woods came an inch away from making an albatross on the par-5 15th during the Seminole Pro-Member on Monday. 

Woods, 48, was making his return to the golf course having withdrawn during the second round of his official PGA Tour return at the Genesis Invitational last month. 

The former World No.1 was forced out of his own event at Riviera due to illness. .

Faxon told SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio: 

While it is unknown as to whether Woods has ever had an albatross during practice rounds or his junior days, he has never had one during a PGA Tour event. 

Woods came within seven inches of making an albatross at the par-5 13th during the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open.
