If you follow Tiger Woods on social, then you already know the guy does serious work on the high seas. You might remember him randomly dropping this massive lobster picture over the summer:

Tiger was back at this past weekend, as he treated himself to some spearfishing for his 42nd birthday (which fell on Dec. 30). Sounds random, but Tiger’s been into this hobby for quite a while now — a Cobia and Amberjack felt his wrath during this special bday outing:

He captioned:
Happy birthday to myself 🙂 Nothing like shooting a cobia and an amberjack.
As for what Tiger has in store for the New Year, he stated on his 2017 reflection blog that he would “love” to play a full schedule in 2018, but isn’t sure about the specifics yet. He also acknowledge his swing isn’t the same due to his back issues — additional details from Tiger:
I took a week off after Hero to train and build up my body because as a tournament week goes on, we all degrade a little bit. That’s just the nature of playing competitive golf.
Now, I feel I’ve taken it to another level. I’ve started practicing again and was out with Justin the other day and had a good time. I’m continuing to progress and trying to get strong enough to where I can handle a workload again. I would love to play a full schedule in 2018. What that entails, including back-to-back events, I don’t know. I just have to continue to work on my body and game and see where I pan out. I wish I knew where I was going to play and when I was going to play – it’s a lot easier to prep for that – but we really don’t know. This is all unchartered territory.
My swing is definitely shorter and I can’t turn as far. My back is fused and that’s as far as it’s going to go. But I was surprised at how explosive I was. And on top of that, how well I putted. I had been rolling it well at home, but it’s totally different when you have adrenalin in your system. I’m more than a full-club longer than when I shut it down. I wasn’t hitting it very far and was struggling to hit it solid. That’s a bad combo.
