Tiger Woods, who is out of rehab and reportedly back home with his family, was spotted hard at work on a golf course near his home this week hittin’ a few golf balls to, presumably, get himself back in playing shape. It’s unclear when exactly Tiger is planning his return to professional golf but the fact that he is back to practicing again might be a clue that his return might be sooner rather than later:

Tiger Woods is golfing like a man possessed — hitting ball after ball after ball at the golf course near his home in Isleworth … and TMZ has obtained the first unstaged photos of Woods back in action. Woods hit the course yesterday with 2 male companions and practiced his ass off from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM — working on everything from drives to pitches and putts. We’re told Tiger’s session was uninterrupted — and he seemed completely focused throughout the entire grueling workout. As we previously reported, sources in Isleworth tell us Tiger is dead set on competing for the Tavistock Cup — which will be held at the same Isleworth golf course where he’s practicing.

It sounds like Tiger‘s got a plan. Now that he’s made his public apology, now that he’s back home with his family, now that he’s back to practicing on the golf course … he’s bound to be anxious to get back to the business of professional golf. As I’ve said before, time heals all wounds … in a few months, his scandal will be a thing of the past … in a year, it will be all but forgotten. His road to redemption starts now.
