Tiger Woods arrived at Augusta National Sunday to begin his preparation for a similar hunt for glory at The Masters this week.
The five-time winner of the Green Jacket returned to the hallowed grounds of Augusta where he has found so much glory as he begins his quest to close in further on Jack Nicklaus's major record.
The 48-year-old, returning to the fairways of the first time since his withdrawal from the Genesis Invitational, followed a similar formula Sunday - one that preceded his iconic triumphant comeback in 2019.
Accompanied by his caddie for the week Lance Bennett and friend and business partner Rob McNamara, Woods bypassed the practice area and headed to the putting green near the clubhouse.
The golfing icon then hit the course, spending time around the greens chipping and putting, according to Bob Harig.

Woods carried out a similar routine ahead of his 2019 triumph and last year before he went on to make the cut for a 23rd consecutive Masters, tying a record held by Gary Player and Fred Couples.
He has the chance to break that record if he can make it through to the weekend at Augusta this week.
However, while he snuck through to the weekend last year, Woods was ultimately forced to withdraw following the third round.
