Woods was on one-under 139 through 36 holes, seven strokes off the pace at Firestone Country Club, a course where he has won seven titles.
The event serves as a tuneup for Woods for next week's PGA Championship at Atlanta, where the 14-time major champion will resume his quest to break the record of 18 major championships won by Jack Nicklaus.
Woods is playing his first tournament since limping out of the Players Championship in May. His last complete round came at the Masters, where he first suffered the left knee and Achilles injuries that have sidelined him.
Aussie domination
Australia's Adam Scott posted an even-par 70 to maintain a share of the second-round lead alongside surging Rickie Fowler, Keegan Bradley and Ryan Moore. Scott couldn't match his blistering eight-under first round, but his effort at Firestone Country Club, which included two birdies and two bogeys, was enough to keep him among the top quartet.
