Tiger Woods practices with driver at range

While eyes are on the Masters this weekend, Tiger Woods continues to eye a comeback.

The 40-year-old took the next step in his recovery as he was hitting his driver at the driving range at The Medalist, his agent Mark Steinberg confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

"He was at The Medalist today and he had a full practice session and he was hitting driver," Steinberg said. "I can't tell you if it was a full speed or full bore because I wasn't there. Like he and I have both said, he felt like he is continuing to make progress."

While the news is a sign that his recovery is coming along, Steinberg pumped the breaks noting that an official timeline is still up in the air.

"I don't know how hard he was hitting the driver or his 2-iron or his 5-iron," Steinberg said. "I don't know when he'll be back. I think it's just part of the process. He is not setting a time to return. I want to be clear there is zero timetable. He's happy to get out at Medalist and take another step.

"I know whenever we have anything to say it leads to the thought that he's coming back. It doesn't. He's just taking it step by step."

Woods has not participated competitively in over eight months after having multiple surgeries in September and October on his lower back.
