Tiger Woods wows crowd, hits 300 yard drive at junior golf tournament
Don’t call it a comeback.
Tiger Woods has yet to announce a timetable for a PGA Tour return, but if Thursday is any indication, he might be back sooner than later.
The 14-time major champion who is recovering from two back surgeries in the last year was at a junior golf tournament Thursday and hit a few shots for the crowd including his patented stinger. He even hit a driver over 300 yards, according to those on hand.

The appearance happened to take place on the same day ESPN published a Wright Thompson story about the inevitable end of Woods’ career.
Not so fast, Wright.
