TIGERWOODS has achieved something that only amateurs can dream of, as he is preparing to prove that he's still a top pro.

American golfing legend, Jack Nicklaus, couldn't help but laugh when one of his practice drives before his Masters comeback hit a buggy full of balls.

This is one of the most common goals for mischievous weekend gamers - to thud a shot onto a ball-picker while it trundles along a driving range, running a gauntlet against drives that vary in quality, accuracy, and distance.

Nobody expected that the American All-Time Great would achieve this feat 14 months after sustaining severe leg injuries in an automobile accident.

The 46-year-old Major winner took it all in stride as the ball made a big 'clinking' sound off the mini-tractor. This sparked a cheer from the spectators.

In fact, the ball ended up being very close to a hole in one because it ricocheted straight up.

MASTERS MIRACLE

Tiger Woods CONFIRMS that he will play Masters and make a miracle comeback

Woods smiled and didn't lose his composure when he planted another drive at the hole.

According to the Californian, he is confident enough to challenge for a sixth Augusta title that would surpass all previous records.

To confirm that his leg is capable of supporting four days of full-time golf at the highest level, he will first play a nine-hole practice course on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, he said: "I still possess the hands to do this, the body is moving well enough.

"I've been in worse situations, but I won tournaments.

"I feel that if I can compete at the highest level, I will be able to do so, but if it is not, you won’t see me out there.

"The fact that my game was strong enough to make it this far was a great success. Now that I'm playing, all of my attention is on Sunday and getting into that back nine with a chance similar to what I had a few years ago."
