Woods seen on range for first time since car crash

It remains unclear whether Woods is preparing for a comeback.

He has not played competitively since 2024 after rupturing an Achilles tendon in March 2025 and having back surgery last October.

After March's road accident - his second arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence - Woods said he was "stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health".

It was the latest in a string of incidents that have littered Woods' recent years.

His marriage ended - as did lucrative sponsorship deals - after he struck a fire hydrant, a tree and several hedges outside his home in a 2009 incident, sparking accusations of extra-marital affairs.

In 2017, he was sentenced to a year's probation after pleading guilty to reckless driving. That came after police officers found Woods slumped at the wheel of his car near his home.

In 2021, Woods survived a serious accident which left him with extensive injuries and he played only a limited schedule since then.
