World number one Scottie Scheffler won the Hero Golf Challenge in the Bahamas as Tiger Woods finished 18th in the 20-man field on his return from injury.
American Scheffler’s bogey-free four-under round of 68 meant he finished on 20 under and sealed a three-shot win from Austrian Sepp Straka.
Woods, competing for the first time since withdrawing from the Masters in April, ended level after a round of 72.
“I think I’ve come a long way,” said the 15-time major champion.
“From being a little bit rusty to playing four days and knocking off a lot of rust was great, and just the physicality of actually playing and competing again… I haven’t done this in a while.
“It was nice to get out here with the guys, have some fun and compete.”
The 47-year-old recovered from a double bogey on the third with three birdies in the next four holes and also birdied the 14th and 15th after dropping shots on the eighth and 11th.
He finished 20 shots behind compatriot Scheffler, runner-up to Viktor Hovland in each of the past two years.
Straka returned a superb 64 to finish 17 under, with Justin Thomas a shot further back in third. Hovland surged through the field with a 63 to finish 10th.
