TIGER Woods and Elin Nordegren were seen kissing for the first time since the scandal that rocked their marriage, according to an online report. Nordegren had called it quits with golfing star, Woods following his romance with a number of women. But an eyewitness from their Orlando neighbourhood told Radar Online  on Tuesday it appeared they have reconciled.

Nordegren, 30, met Woods after playing tennis on Monday where they were seen openly affectionate with each other, according to the source.

“They were hugging and they were kissing right out in the open,” the source said.

“Elin is certainly a lot more relaxed these days and so is he.

“People in the neighbourhood are getting used to seeing them together again."

Radar Online  previously reported that Nordegren had agreed to reconcile with Woods after three months of estrangement and therapy.

“They’ve come a long, long way,” the source said. “There was a time when she wouldn’t even look at him.”

However, Nordegren was still not wearing her wedding ring on Tuesday when spotted at a spa enjoying manicures with her two-year-old daughter, Sam, People Magazine reported.

Meanwhile Woods, 34, is reportedly working on his return to the game with coach Hank Haney this week, according to Golf Digest and the Golf Channel, indicating that a comeback could be on the cards soon.

Woods took an indefinite hiatus from competitive golf in the wake of the sex scandal that has engulfed him since late November, but the work could indicate he is preparing his game to compete at next month's Masters, AFP reported.
