Tiger Woods Is Already Impressing Fans With His Swing on His First Day Back Golfing Since His Accident

It’s been a while since golf fans have heard an update from Tiger Woods after his February rollover accident in Los Angeles. On Sunday, the athlete shared some hopeful news with a video on Twitter, showing off his signature golf swing.

Dressed in a gray polo shirt, white baseball cap and black shorts, it was hard not to notice the black compression sock on his injured right leg from the crash. But the health update was a hopeful one that he captioned, “Making progress,” while hitting a bucket of balls out on the course. Seeing the elite golfer in such good form is the best update to a year that started with his scary car crash.
