Tiger Woods “can hit pretty much anything” following his first return to the range in six months following a car accident.
The former golfing major champion was seen swinging balls around at Liberty National in New Jersey via video posted on Instagram before the Nexus Cup, an invitational charity golf tournament he will host to benefit his own foundation called the TGR Foundation.
According to BBC Sport, The 50-year-old Woods was also seen giving a clinic where he was asked about his playing skills by the host of the event and replied, “I can hit pretty much anything.”

This follows six months after he crashed his car into a tree while driving recklessly, rolling it over and having to escape from the vehicle through the passenger side door of his Land Rover in Florida. He refused a urinalysis.
Tiger Woods recently pleaded guilty and accepted the five-year license suspension and a $1,000 (£742) fine following the incident earlier this month.
It is still uncertain if Woods is planning for a comeback.
Woods has been out of the game since 2024, following a rupture of his Achilles tendon and back surgery in March 2025 and October 2024 respectively.
Following his arrest in March, after a crash while under the influence of alcohol, Woods said that he was stepping away from the game for “a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health”.
However, this was just one in a series of events which have been happening to Woods recently.
His marriage and many of his sponsorships have been cut off, following the wrecking up of his Ferrari by Woods who drove into a fire hydrant and a couple of trees and hedges in 2009.
In 2017, Woods was charged a year of probation after being convicted of driving recklessly. This followed the arrest of police officers when they discovered Woods slumped on the steering wheel of his car.
In 2021, Woods survived another crash in which he sustained numerous injuries.
