Woods' appearance at the 36-hole team event, only open to winners of a major or The Players with their children, was his first competitive start since sustaining career-threatening injuries to his leg and ankle in February's car crash.

The 15-time major champion, using a golf cart to get around Ritz-Carlton Golf Course and playing in his signature red shirt, made a Sunday charge after teaming up with his son to post 11 consecutive birdies during a dramatic Sunday.

The sparkling display helped them card a final-round 57 in the scramble format to grab solo second, as two-time major champion John Daly and his son - also called John - matched Woods' total to claim a two-shot victory and end the weekend on a tournament record of 27 under.

Woods demonstrated he still processes his impressive short-game by getting close to the flag with numerous approaches during his round, while his son's length off the tee and strong putting played a big part in the team's surge up the leaderboard.

Team Woods went into the final day three off the pace but followed back-to-back birdies over their first two holes by eagling the par-five third, before starting an incredible birdie run when Tiger almost holed out with a wedge at the par-four seventh.

The pair continued to steal the show by birdieing every hole through until the par-five last, where both players missed putts from inside 10 feet and had to settle for a closing par to set the clubhouse target at 25 under.
