No one knows for sure when (or if?) Tiger Woods will return to PGA Tour play, but his prolonged absence due to a back injury doesn't mean he's stepping away from golf.

The former world No. 1 gave an encouraging update on his condition Wednesday at the grand opening of The Playgrounds at Bluejack National, a 10-hole, par-3 course for children that Woods designed.

Woods also made something of a return to play, rounding off a playing group with two kids. Coincidentally, Woods was standing on the tee box when 11-year-old Taylor Crozier stepped up to hit his tee shot. According to PGA.com, the shot was the very first hit on the new course, and what a way to start.

Not a bad way to start a round ... or a course.

The ace wasn't Crozier's only accomplishment of the day. He also went on to beat Woods on the round.
