Woods, in just his third event since returning to the PGA Tour following knee surgery, closed with a 3-under-par 67 and a 72-hole total of 275 to edge Sean O'Hair, the third-round leader, by a stroke.
O'Hair slipped to a 3-over 73 in the last round.
Woods, in seizing his 66th victory on the tour, won the Palmer event for the sixth time. He also won it with a final-hole birdie last year.
Zach Johnson (69) finished third at 278. Scott Verplank (69), Pat Perez (69), John Senden (67) and Nick Watney (68) tied for fourth at 279.

Tiger is back!
I was at the 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach Tournament, so I knew that Tiger had come back from 5 strokes behind before, but I did not expect him to do what he did on Sunday. I think people might enjoy this list, since Tiger and Arnold Palmer are both on it. I'm not sure if Byron Nelson’s record of 18 single season wins will ever be broken.
