Tiger Woods' comeback to competitive action seems to be getting closer after the former World number one, took part in a golf clinic in North Carolina on Thursday.

Woods has not swung a club in anger since taking part at the Wyndham Championship last August. Since then, the 40-year-old has had two back surgeries.

Fan footage of Woods' comeback has been released sporadically in the last 24 hours with the 14-time major winner impressing the crowd throughout the clinic.

 

Tiger is definitely back! His swing is looking flush. Only matter of time he will be back.

Despite missing The Masters, Woods' progression may allow him to play in the remaining three majors of the season. A comeback may happen as early as next month, with The Players Championship at Sawgrass a realistic chance of seeing another comeback.
