Woods was in California for a two-day content shoot with Golf Digest/GOLFTV.
This was after he hosted the PGA Tour's Genesis Invitational over the weekend where he was spotted with the likes of Dwayne Wade and David Spade.
Because of a spinal fusion surgery he had recently, Woods' movement was restricted and he didn't get involved in playing holes, instead focusing on giving on course lessons from celebrities.
