The golf star, 50, revealed he has been “training quite a bit” during the past several months after stepping out of the competitive season following his March DUI arrest.

He opened up about his future in the sport on the November 10 episode of SiriusXM’s PGA Tour Radio.

“I’m feeling better, no doubt about that,” he gushed. “I’ve been training quite a bit.”

Tiger Woods’ Arrest

Woods was last spotted on the golf course on March 24 while competing with his team, Jupiter Links Golf Club, at the TGL Championships.

He was arrested just three days later in Jupiter Island, Fla., where he rolled his vehicle and was charged with driving under the influence.

Police found two loose pills on him that were later identified as hydrocodone, an opioid used to manage pain. He passed a breathalyzer test but refused to give a urine sample.

In September, Woods pleaded no contest to lesser charges of willful reckless driving, refusing to submit to a urine test and careless driving.

His license was subsequently suspended for five years.

‘I’ll See You There’

However, Woods’ driving incident appears to be behind him as he announced he would be returning to the golf course for the first time in eight months at the Hero World Challenge in December.

“I’m there either way, so I’ll see you there,” he promised fans.

It’s unclear if Woods will be competing. However, he will host the 72-hole event in the Bahamas next month.

He is also expected to return to competition in the Jupiter Links GC’s season opener on December 27.

Woods has been down for the count for more than a year after rupturing his Achilles tendon in March 2025.

He underwent extensive surgeries and treatment, which set him up to sign on for the Masters in April, though his plans were foiled by his arrest.

Shortly after his run-in with the law, he was admitted to a rehabilitation facility in Switzerland to treat any substance or health issues that may have been ongoing.

‘Back on the Range’

Fans speculated that Woods would soon return to the course after he was seen practicing his “iconic” swing in September.

A video posted by the TGR Foundation and the PGA Tour highlighted his much-anticipated comeback.

“Tiger Woods is back on the range!” its caption read. “His last PGA Tour start was July 2024.”

Fans chimed in at the time, gushing that Woods was ready to “win another major” as they buckled up for his “comeback.”
