In a 13-second video posted on his Twitter account, Woods is
seen hitting a nine-iron to the green on a 153-yard par-three
hole on an indoor golf simulator, seemingly without discomfort.
"Progressing nicely," the 14-times major champion, who has not
competed since last August, wrote in the tweet.
Some social-media reports over the weekend suggested the former
world number one suffered a setback in his recovery from a third
back operation and that he was unable to sit without pain and
was having difficulty walking.
But Woods' agent said earlier this week that reports of the
golfer being incapacitated were false and that an update on his
client's health would be made at the appropriate time.
Woods, who made 11 starts on the PGA Tour last season and just
seven the season before, had his first back surgery in early
2014. A second microdisectomy was performed last September with
a follow-up procedure six weeks later.
The greatest player of his generation and arguably of all time,
the 40-year-old Woods has not won a tournament since 2013 and
last won a major in 2008. He has not set a timetable for his
return to the PGA Tour.
