Tiger Woods has been spotted practicing his swing at Pebble Beach, as he bids his comeback to competitive golf after spending half a year on the sidelines following ankle surgery in April.

The 47-year-old had golf fans in a frenzy on Saturday evening after footage of the former World No. 1 hitting balls went viral on social media. 

Woods was seen last month caddying for his young son, Charlie, 14, at the Last Chance Regional. 

He was also on a practice range juggling golf balls and hitting chip shots along with Rickie Fowler and Will Zalatoris in September.

But in the latest video of the 15-time major champion, Woods can be seen hitting a wedge shot to a par-3 hole.

The footage was initially posted by TGR Live and then it was immediately shared by the PGA Tour and TWLegion.

In the video, Woods is wearing a patterned hat and shirt with grey pants and shades. 

His highly-anticipated return to competitive golf has been earmarked for December at the PNC Championship. Woods hopes to play at the tournament with his teenage soon, Charlie. 

Walt Disney’s ESPN clinched the U.S. broadcast rights for TGL, a new primetime golf league created by Woods and Rory McIlroy, it was announced this past Thursday. 

TGL fuses technology and live action in a two-hour match format and features 18 PGA Tour players split into six teams, one of which is owned by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and his tennis Hall of Fame wife Serena Williams.

ABC will broadcast a preview show on December 30, while the inaugural match will air on ESPN network and ESPN+ streaming service during prime time on January 9, the night after the College Football Playoff National Championship.

Meanwhile, Davis Love III suggested earlier this week that Woods is next in line to captain the Americans at the Ryder’s Cup, which they lost for a seventh-straight time on the road this year. 

Woods, who has played in eight Ryder Cups, competing in 37 matches and finishing with a career record of 13 wins, 21 defeats and three halves, was nowhere near Rome for this year’s edition of the tournament. 

He’s continuing to recover from nagging injuries stemming from arthritis, which he developed after a serious 2021 car crash. 

Since then, the Hall of Fame Golfer has struggled to walk around PGA-sponsored courses. 

He sustained multiple leg injuries and had surgery for life-threatening injuries in the wreck from a little over two years ago in Rancho Palo Verdes, California.
