A revitalised Tiger Woods is all set for his PGA Tour seasonal debut at this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
After finishing third, first and third in his last three tournaments and moving up from outside the top 50 to 18th in the world rankings, Woods has a new-found sense of confidence on the course.
"Golf is more enjoyable than it used to be," said the 36-year-old.
He also revealed that his kids are reaching the age where they like to see their dad in action on TV.
Woods had two children before he and Swede Elin Nordegren were divorced in 2010 following his sex scandal. Daughter Sam will be five in June, while son Charlie is three on Wednesday.
"My kids are of an age where they want to see Dad on TV," he said, adding that he has assured them it will happen more the better he plays.
"I am at peace with where I'm at," Woods said. "I have had to make some changes but I am starting to see the results of that now. My last four events I really played well and I need to be building on that but I am heading in the right direction.
"It has been huge that I have been able to train again. Rehabbing and training are totally different scenarios - I have been rehabbing pretty much the last couple of years and haven't really trained at all but now I am healthy enough to do it.
"I able to practise literally all day if I want to, for as long as I want and not have to go get treatment, all of those monotonous things just to be able to tee up the next day.
"That is no longer the case so I have made huge progress. My body is feeling explosive again, I am hitting the ball further and able to do the things Sean wants me to do with my swing."
Woods will play in America this week for the first time since he won the Chevron World Challenge in December. His only event so far this year was the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship two weeks ago, where he was in the final group on the final day, but came up short with a closing level-par 72.
"That was my bad day of ball-striking and it was not that bad - I ran through some fairways and I putted from off the green four times," he said.
"It was not that big a deal. I hope going forward that's my bad day - if it is we're looking pretty good."
