Tiger Woods had plenty of support in his latest comeback to professional golf at the Hero World Challenge, but one high-profile fan showed up to root him on in person on Sunday.
Rafael Nadal, the world’s No. 1-ranked tennis player, was spotted in the gallery following Woods as he carded a final-round 68 at Albany.
Nadal and Woods, who have won a combined 30 major titles in their respective sports, have a history of supporting each other in big events. In September, Woods cheered on Nadal from seats in the Spaniard’s box at the U.S. Open.
