Tiger Woods is once again in the golfing headlines for the right reasons and the legend is proving just how much he loves the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a brilliant putt from 71 foot.

There's not much sadder in sport in the last few years than the loss of form and fitness of Tiger Woods, one of the greats in golf's history hasn't been able to get anywhere near the heights of his 14 majors in recent times.

That's mostly down to be back injuries and having to go through, and recover from, three surgeries in the last four years and he's struggled to be consistently on any course.

Last week Woods showed signs that his recovery when he came second, by just one shot, to England's Paul Casey at the Valspar Championship.

This week Woods is in very familiar surroundings at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill in Florida, a tournament he has won eight times. And a brilliant 71 foot putt from the 42 year old has gone viral:

The putt did take Woods to the top of the leaderboard on his own but Jimmy Walker finished on five under for the day and will likely finish ahead of his fellow American.

Incredibly Woods today became the bookies favourite for the Masters at Augusta in just three weeks. The last time Woods won a major was at the US Open in 2008 and his last Green Jacket win came in 2005.

Can we really say that Tiger is back or will it turn out to be a false dawn?
