Tiger Woods isn’t in the field this week at the Zozo Championship, still rehabbing from his sixth surgery on his lower back in the last 10 years. But five years ago, he was coming off a nine-week break after surgery to repair minor cartilage damage in his left knee and despite an inauspicious start, he rattled off a tournament-best 27 birdies and won the inaugural PGA Tour tournament in Japan to tie Sam Snead with 82 career Tour titles.
