Question: How Much Does Tiger Woods Practice Golf?
Answer: Tiger Woods practice sessions are intense, focused - and lengthy. According to Woods' own estimates, his golf practice sessions are from seven to eight hours in length.

When Woods is in his daily practice route, his golf practice is interspersed throughout a typical day with his workout routine, as detailed on tigerwoods.com.

But the Tiger Woods practice routine over the course of a typical day goes something like this:

  • Two hours of range-work and on-course swing work in the morning, followed by 30 minutes to an hour of putting practice.

  • Around noon, play nine holes.

  • In the afternoon, another 3-4 hours of on-course work focusing on the swing and short game. The afternoon session sometimes includes another nine holes playing golf.
