Tiger Woods shoots four times at the first PGA Tour play-off event

Woods had five bogeys and a double bogey in his first performance since missing the cut at The Open last month.

Tiger Woods experienced a difficult return when he shot a four-over 75 in the first of the play-off events of the PGA Tour at Liberty National in New Jersey.

Woods played his first round since he missed the cut at The Open at Royal Portrush last month.

He could only practice chipping and placing the Wednesday-am pro and his game was not sharp because he recorded five bogeys and a double bogey.

It left him 13 blows behind the early leader, Troy Merritt, who fired a 62.
