• Tiger Woods says he is “feeling better” and aiming to play in a tournament next month

• Woods was seen hitting on the golf course in September

Tiger Woods is mounting another comeback.

The 82-time PGA Tour winner said he is “training quite a bit” and “feeling better” nearly eight months after he last played competitive golf and then, days later, was arrested and charged with a DUI in Florida.

“I’m feeling better, no doubt about that,” Woods, 50, told Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio in an interview that aired Tuesday, Nov. 10. “I’ve been training quite a bit. I will be at Hero [World Challenge]. I’m there either way, so I’ll see you there.”

Woods is set to host the no-cut, 72-hole tournament in the Bahamas, which begins on Dec. 3 with a 20-man field. 

The legendary golfer is also expected to compete in Jupiter Links GC’s season-opener on Dec. 27, and could return to the PNC Championship, which he has historically played with his son, Charlie, according to ESPN, 

After rupturing his Achilles tendon in March 2025 and undergoing extensive rehab, Woods was on the cusp of playing in the Masters this past April, but that comeback ended with his March 27 arrest.

Woods was arrested after he rolled over his Range Rover in a two-car accident in Jupiter Island, Fla. In an affidavit obtained by PEOPLE at the time, deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office found two hydrocodone pills in Woods’ left pants pocket while at the scene.

Woods apologized and underwent treatment in Switzerland amid the news that his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

In September, the 15-time major champ was seen hitting balls during a clinic at Liberty National in New Jersey ahead of the Nexus Cup, in a video shared on Woods’ TGR Live Events Instagram account.

“Shaping shots on the range today at NEXUS Cup,” the caption read. 

The PGA Tour reshared the video on their social media accounts, adding, “Tiger Woods is back on the range! His last PGA Tour start was July 2024.”
