Tiger Woods started his return to action by shooting a 1-over par 73 on day one of golf's Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

The 14-time major winner playing his first tournament for 16 months after multiple back operations.

The former World No 1 made a storming start, with four birdies from the first eight holes.

But the momentum did not last as he bogeyed the ninth. 

Woods did birdie the 15th but the remainder of the back nine was challenging on the score card.

A bogey on the 11th was followed up by double bogeys on the 16th and 18th.

Fellow US golfer JB Holmes leads the way on 8-under.

That puts him one shot clear of Hideki Matsuyama.

Dustin Johnson is on 6-under.
