The drought is over for Tiger Woods. The world's former No. 1 golfer took 749 days to hoist a trophy again. Never in his 15-year-career has he faced this situation. Today, Woods finally showed a glimpse of what he used to be, but what does it mean?

Tiger made a clutch putt to seal the deal at the Chevron World Challenge. He birdied 18 to beat Zack Johnson by one.

With this, he finished his 2011 season the same way he did in 2009, with a win, but the circumstances are way more different.

Woods' next event is the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, which means he'll have a month-and-a-half to practice and assimilate this achievement.

Before saying Tiger is back, it's important to take into consideration two things: this wasn't an official event nor a full-field one.

Moreover, those who are leading the rankings haven't slowed down. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy won in Hong Kong, giving himself a chance to run for the European Tour Order of Merit.

But not everything's bad for Woods. This, along with his previous performances at the Emirates Australian Open and the Presidents Cup, proves that he's getting there and that all the adjustments are finally paying off.

Still, we can't deny that this victory will surely give Woods a lot of confidence and maybe put him right on track to take home another title in 2012. Perhaps not a major, but he needs to start at some point and that's what he did today.

Of course this brings a lot of expectations, especially after he finished birdie-birdie and handled pressure as in the old days.

Maybe the Tiger Woods we knew before the car crash won't come back, but that doesn't mean he won't win again. Most importantly he will be in the mix next season which makes golf even more interesting.
