Tiger Woods of the US in action during the second group at The 150th Open Championship Old Course, St Andrews, Scotland, Britain, on July 15, 2022.Tiger Woods made an apology and appeared to make the cut at the Genesis Invitational on Friday , as a prank gone wrong overshadowed his return to action at his first official PGA Tour event in nearly eight months.
