Tiger Woods was seen swinging a golf club on Tuesday at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Mo.

After announcing in March he would not participate in the 2017 Masters due to back issues, Woods seemed to painlessly swing his golf club on Tuesday.

"The back is progressing," Woods said during a news conference according to USA Today. " I have good days and bad days. I've had three back operations and that's just kind of the nature of the business unfortunately. That's all I can say."

A child reporter asked Woods to participate in a “friendly competition” at this week’s Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf at Big Cedar Lodge.

Woods was at the event on Tuesday to formally announce “Payne’s Valley”— an 18-hole golf course near Big Cedar Lodge. Woods has partnered with Bass Pro Shops founder and CEO Johnny Morris for the project.
