That is the opinion of Sky Sports golf expert Simon Holmes.
Woods carded an impressive three-under par 69 in his first round for over 300 days yesterday.
But he was in even better touch today, reaching eight-under through his front nine.
Woods eagled the ninth to take the outright lead at the tournament in the Bahamas.

He’s your man, that is a serious statement. I’ve been telling you, other players will be stressed
Holmes says the form of Tiger Woods’ will be worrying his opponents, who surely did not expect the American to come back this strongly.
“I think the lines he’s picking, he’s picking very aggressive lines, great speed at the hole, which means he’s very confident about his ones coming back,” Holmes said.
“I mean, two amazing shots, 600 and something yards, probably a hair against the breeze, an absolute scud off the tee.

“A towering three-wood that lands and stops within, what, two feet and then to box in the eagle after nine.
“He’s your man, that is a serious statement.
“I’ve been telling you, other players will be stressed.”
