Tiger Woods is not resting on his laurels after finishing joint-second at the Valspar Championship on Sunday.

The 14-time major champion is continuing his build-up to a potential first Masters appearance in three years at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and he got up early to practice on Wednesday.

Before the sun ventured over the Florida horizon, Woods was joined on the driving range by Rory McIlroy, who is looking for a first top-10 finish on the PGA Tour this season.

Woods has been grouped with Hideki Matsuyama and Jason Day and will tee off from the 10th on 08:35 local time (12:35 GMT) on Thursday, while McIlroy will play alongside Marc Leishman and Rickie Fowler.
