Tiger Woods hits balls at Nexus Cup clinic, updates golf game status
Summary

Tiger Woods was observed hitting golf balls at the Nexus Cup clinic on September 16, 2026, providing fans with an update on his golf game. Recent rehabilitation followed back surgery at the end of 2025, and Woods had previously aimed for a return at The Masters, but a car accident derailed those plans. He has gradually resumed golfing activities, including chipping and putting, and has been playing competitively again in TGL. Woods expressed optimism about his ability to hit shots, though it's uncertain when he will be able to walk a full course. He may consider playing on the PGA Tour Champions, which would allow him to use a golf cart.
