NASSAU, Bahamas -- Everyone is watching, everyone is curious, and Jordan Spieth had the perfect view of Tiger Woods for his return to golf.Spieth was on the 17th green and looked across a narrow pond to the ninth tee at Albany Golf Club where Woods stood over his tee shot during the Wednesday pro-am. He saw the swing, but he lost sight of the ball in the glare of the tropical sun.Where did it go? Spieth said as he tried to gauge where the ball might land. Not in the fairway.He looked again.Whoa! There it is -- WAY down there, he said. Damn.The shots and the score dont count until Thursday at the Hero World Challenge with an 18-man field, small but strong. Woods is playing for the first time in 465 days. The expectations have rarely been this varied. The interest is as high as ever.Hes the only person ... in the last 30 years in golf that any expectation you set, hell somehow prove to you that he can do better, Spieth said. But I think with this, I just hope that everyone gives him time. I hope he has the time to fall into a rhythm and just get enough tournaments where he can kind of build up that seeing the shots under competition, under the gun.You can look back 10 years at shots you hit. Its not the same as looking back the week before on a positive swing.Woods last played on Aug. 23, 2015, when he closed with a 70 at the Wyndham Championship to fall out of contention and tie for 10th. Two back surgeries followed, leaving him so debilitated at times that he wondered if he would ever play.He tees off at high noon in the Bahamas with Patrick Reed, who idolized his golf so much as a teenager that he wears black pants and a red shirt on Sunday.Reed is but one example of the golf landscape to which Woods returns, one of seven players in the 18-man field who were not even on tour when Woods last won a major at the 2008 U.S. Open. Another is Russell Knox, who said recently, My short career will never be over until I play with Tiger Woods.It was only three years ago that Woods won five times and was PGA Tour player of the year. That still wasnt the dominance he once had over the game, for he finished in the top 10 only 53 percent of the time, his lowest rate in a dozen years.Woods had five or more victories 11 times in a span of 13 seasons.The better he plays, the better it is for golf, Rickie Fowler said. Whether he gets back to the way he did in the early 2000s -- from what Ive heard, it was arguably the best anyone has ever played -- that might be tough because of injuries, and hes at a different age. Its not like hes been away that long. It just seems longer because of how dominant he was.Woods declared himself ready to play and said, Im going to try to win this thing.The pro-am is never a true measure, and the wind was whipping across the island on Wednesday. Even so, Woods showed no sign of fatigue or aches, and his swing certainly looked more efficient than when he was playing no more than 10 times each of the previous two years as he was trying to navigate a bad back.On the par-5 third hole, he hit a drive and a 3-iron to about 10 feet for an eagle. He also had a few bogeys along the way. Conditions were not easy on any of the players. Woods said there were no surprises about how he played, and his only complaint was getting his speed right on the green.I was able to hit all the shots I needed to hit, he said.Spieth has seen Woods when he was No. 1 in the world. Hed love nothing more than to see the Woods that once made winning -- majors included -- look routine.We all hope for many reasons that he comes back fully healthy and his game is fully back, Spieth said. To name one, you dont ever want to see somebody go down because of injury. And two, I think it was a dream for all of us young guys to one day grow up and battle Tiger on a Sunday when he was playing his best, and see if you can Y.E. Yang it, see if you can pull off a shot where you can take him down.Yang rallied from two behind to beat Woods in the 2009 PGA Championship, the only time Woods lost a major when leading going into the final round.Woods has played with Fowler and Justin Rose, Jason Dufner and Justin Thomas, in recent months. Simulating tournament conditions is a different matter, and that will be the ultimate measure this week and beyond.Hes been out of competitiveness for quite some time, so that might be a little while before you find your bearings again, Henrik Stenson said. But as you know, hes done some remarkable things throughout his career. And if theres someone that can jump right back up and play some great golf again, that would be him.

England have not beaten the Springboks since 2006 but have won 10 games in a row - nine under Eddie Jones and their last World Cup pool game against Uruguay. LISTEN: Rugby Union podcast Will Greenwood on Irelands historic victory over the All Blacks, and England v South Africa South Africa have lost four out of their last five games and seem to have lost their direction as they look to re-build under Allister Coetzee, and Greenwood feels they are there for the taking. They [South Africa] have a good record against England so you cant underestimate them, but having said that it will be a major upset and a huge disappointment if England dont win, said Greenwood. England vs South Africa November 12, 2016, 2:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass England will start red-hot favourites. They have some injury problems with Maro Itoje and George Kruis out injured and James Haskell still out with his toe injury, but it is a really good time to be an England fan, because you have plenty of options.Greenwood says those options will be crucial for Jones to get right, especially in the second row and uses Irelands historic win over New Zealand to show how important the lock pairing will be.Ireland were magnificent in Chicago and a lot of that was started at the lineout, explained Greenwood.New Zealand went into that game missing their starting second rowers - Luke Romano, Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock. Ireland swarmed all over them, nicked their ball and New Zealand could just not get any possession. Josh Beaumont (R) and Joe Launchbury (L) compete in the air during an England training session Joe Launchbury will definitely start in the second row - he has been going fantastically well for Wasps. It is who goes with him that will be interesting - Dave Attwood is right up there and playing very well for Bath. Courtney Lawes has been our go to enforcer but it all depends on whether Eddie feels that he has had enough game time.What we do know about Jones though, is that he is confident enough to watch training and tell whether a pplayer is ready or not - whether they have had four minutes or 15 games on the trot.ddddddddddddOwen Farrell has not had that much game time but he will come straight back in - I imagine it will be the Ford, Farrell and Joseph combination. Will Tom Wood start in the backrow for England? A lot of units will come back together - Vunipola and Robshaw at 6 and 8 - who fills the No 7 jersey though? Will it be Tom Wood or Teimana Harrison?Greenwood got up close and personal with the Springboks during their 31-31 draw against the Barbarians. The 2003 World Cup winner was part of the Baa-Baas coaching team and was their waterboy at Wembley as well.The Boks have some talent - they really have got some power and they are huge, huge men.This kid Rohan Janse van Rensburg who played in the centre against the Barbarians is 5ft 10in and over 17 stone. How can you be 5ft 10in, 17 stone and run like a train? Hes like a warthog! Watch this classic Baa-Baas performance as they drew with South Africa at Wembley Their raw ingredients are exceptional and as an incredibly proud rugby nation they did not play fantastically well - they coughed up a lot of ball which gave us the chance to counter attack. But what I love about the Springboks, and I told the boys, is that they will keep on coming at you.However I think that England, after winning all those games are confident enough to drop players in and out whereas South Africa are still trying to find the confidence to make changes and hit the ground running.Watch England v South Africa live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Saturday from 2pm.
