Let’s get this out of the way: There’s still a while to go before you will see Tiger Woods tee it up on the PGA Tour again. Not only is Woods coming off a personal incident in which he was arrested for driving under the influence of multiple prescription drugs (he recently completed a “private intensive program” to help him with that problem), he still continues to rehabilitate a nagging back that has kept him out of regular competition since 2013. But none of that changes how golf fans feel when they get the chance to see him hit the ball, which is exactly what happened Thursday afternoon when Woods tweeted that he has officially been given the all-clear by his doctor to begin pitching.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Another roar shook the grounds as the beer rained down in celebration. RELATED: Leaderboard | Inside Sam Ryder’s epic ace on WM Phoenix Open’s 16th hole | The top 5 aces at TPC Scottsdale’s 16th Not 24 hours after the week’s first ace at TPC Scottsdale’s wild 16th hole, Carlos Ortiz made another hole-in-one at the raucous par-3 party stop at the WM Phoenix Open on Sunday. Ortiz hit 9-iron and watched the ball land short and roll into the hole from 179 yards, the crowd detonating as it disappeared. He high-fived playing partners Kevin Kisner and Joseph Bramlett and their caddies as chaos ensued for the second straight day. Sam Ryder aced the same hole Saturday, but from just 124 yards. This marks just the second time there have been two aces on 16 in the same week; Tiger Woods (third round) and Steve Stricker (final round) each made a hole-in-one at the iconic hole in 1997. Although it was reported that someone bet $10,000 on Ortiz to win, at 150-to-1 odds, before the tournament, he was well off the pace when he made a hole-in-one on his seventh hole of the day after starting on the back nine. (The leaders were still on the second hole.) Be that as it may, Ortiz further helped his cause when he drove the short, par-4 17th hole and made the eagle putt from 12 feet, 9 inches. It marked the first time a player has made back-to-back eagles on the PGA TOUR this season, and the second time in as many seasons that Ortiz has. He went back-to-back at the Sony Open in Hawaii last year. Ortiz’s ace on 16 was the 11th all-time at the wild-and-crazy par 3.
Lee Westwood is atop the leaderboard for the second week in a row as he took control with a round of 6-under 66 at TPC Sawgrass on Friday.
