Sep 15 (Field Level Media) – 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.
