Unlike his last comeback a year ago, where he may have rushed his return after his third back procedure, the 41 year old seems to be in no hurry to get back on the golf course.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got a nice report and is allowed to proceed, Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg told ESPN\u2019s Bob Harig. \u201cHe can do as much as he needs to do. Tiger is going to take this very, very slowly. This is good, but he plans to do it the right way.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHank Haney, his coach for six years, put on his Twitter account that his video swing looked pretty good.<\/p>\n

They were part of a trend of 20-somethings that won tournaments in 2017.<\/p>\n
Woods did address his career last month when he was assistant captain at the President\u2019s Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what my future holds for me,\u201d the 14-time major winner said. \u201cOverall, I\u2019m very optimistic how I\u2019m progressing. But I don\u2019t know what my golfing body is going to be like because I haven\u2019t hit a golf shot yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Tiger Woods teased fans over the weekend when he posted a video on his Twitter account showing him hitting a driver at an unnamed golf course. But other than the caption \u201cMaking Progress,\u201d he gave no indication when he might return to competitive golf.
