## Tiger returns to the range
Woods hit golf balls publicly for the first time since his March DUI arrest, appearing at a clinic for his TGR Foundation at Liberty National in New Jersey.
## Five year license suspension
Woods pleaded no contest to DUI after his SUV flipped when he clipped a trailer in Jupiter, Florida. His driver's license was suspended for five years.
## Pain pills, not alcohol
Two pain pills were found in his pocket after the crash. His breathalyzer showed no alcohol, but he showed signs of impairment and refused a urine test.
## Hitting shots isn't the problem
Woods says he can hit any shot, but his body struggles to walk courses for multiple days. He's recovering from disc replacement surgery and a torn Achilles tendon.

## Key takeaway

Tiger Woods is practicing golf again after his DUI arrest, but walking full tournament rounds remains his biggest physical challenge.
