Does Tiger Woods [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/] already have a date in mind for his return? After his 7th lower back surgery [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-tiger-woods-confirms-alarming-seventh-lumber-back-surgery-amid-growing-comeback-doubts/], the big cat has been put out of commission for at least three months till February 2026. That will make it nearly a year and a half since he last played a professional event. But the latest reports reveal that Woods might be making steady progress and has a realistic date in his mind for his return. As per TWLEGION, Woods has confirmed that he is already practicing his swing: “🚨👀🐅 #NEW PHOTO — Tiger holding the new Bridgestone VS Proto ball earlier this week. Woods reportedly told the brand that he’s seen a ball speed increase and will be putting it in play in 2026, per @MyGolfSpy.” The last time Woods was seen having a swing at the ball was during the Nexus Cup back in September 2025. Since the charity event, he has been troubled with injuries and is nursing through the surgery he had. However, TWLEGION’s latest update suggests that he may have already started using his driver. In fact, it seems that he is also pushing his limit, considering that he is already talking about an increase in ball speed. Moreover, the fact that he has confirmed that he will be using the Bridgestone VS Proto ball in 2026 will excite many fans who have been keenly waiting for his return since 2024. 

Weeks after confirming his 7th lower back surgery, Tiger Woods is already planning to make a comeback as he reveals his plans for 2026.
