(CNN)Tiger Woods played his best golf since the car crash in February 2021 that threatened to end his career to finish tied-45th at the Genesis Invitational, as Jon Rahm walked away with his third PGA Tour win of 2023 to regain the world No. 1 spot.
It was Woods' first competitive outing since The Open Championship in July 2022 and his first non-major appearance since October 2020.
The 15-time major winner has played sparingly since sustaining serious leg injuries in the crash in Southern California, but shot his lowest single round score -- 67 on Saturday -- since the crash en route to finishing one-under-par for the tournament.
