Tiger Woods was spotted working on his tee shot Tuesday morning at Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey.
The short video clip circulating online has many wondering if Woods is eyeing a return to competitive golf. He hasn’t committed to that.
He is in the Garden State in advance of The Nexus Cup, an exclusive amateur team competition hosted by Woods that benefits Woods’ TGR Foundation. On Tuesday, the 15-time major champion was taking part in a clinic that is part of the event.
In front of a crowd that had gathered to get tips from Woods, he answered a question about the status of his game, which has been interrupted by both medical and legal issues.
“I can hit pretty much anything,” he said.
The video comes nearly two weeks after Woods pleaded no contest to willful, wanton and reckless driving and refusing to submit to a urine test in a brief hearing at the Martin County Courthouse in Martin, Fla.
Woods, 50, agreed to two concurrent five-year suspensions of his driver’s license and was fined $1,000 in exchange for a DUI charge originating from his March crash on a residential road being dropped.
Woods hasn’t competed in a major tournament or even a competitive event at all since 2024.
His health has played a significant role in his lack of professional activities in recent years. A separate car accident in 2021 severely injured his lower right leg, and he has endured seven back surgeries, including a disk replacement in October.
Woods has failed to win a title since the ‘21 accident, last winning at the 2019 Zozo Championship – Reuters.
