TIGER WOODS was seen hitting balls at Augusta as he moves ever closer to an amazing Masters comeback.
The five-time Green Jacket winner has not played a competitive round for more than 500 days.
And he admits that he is lucky to be alive after suffering horrendous leg injuries when he crashed his car in Los Angeles 14 months ago.
However, he was all smiles as he took to the green in the practice area of the iconic course on Sunday.
Wearing a pink Nike polo top along with a black hat and trousers, the 46-year-old received a warm welcome in the sunshine.
He shared a hug with fellow American star Billy Horschel before continuing to practice his swinging and putting.

Woods only arrived in Augusta today as he promised a “game time” decision on whether he will play in the Masters.
He had initially sent the golfing world into a frenzy by turning up out of the blue to play a practice round at Augusta last Tuesday.
That was alongside his son Charlie and former world No 1 Justin Thomas.
He has now delivered an update to his 6.6million Twitter followers ahead of the tournament.

And it has left fans praying he will be back in action for the first time since the final round of the 2020 Masters, on November 15.
Woods wrote: “I will be heading up to Augusta today to continue my preparation and practice.
“It will be a game-time decision on whether I compete.”
Woods arrived at the course at 3.20 pm local time.
He then spent twenty minutes warming up before being taken to the first tee in a golf cart, to play nine holes.
And the green jackets strengthened the feeling that the five time Masters champion will make it to the first tee on Thursday, by adding his name to the list of players lined up for official interviews. Woods will be in the media centre at 11am on Tuesday.
