— Tiger Woods painted a
bleak picture Tuesday on
when he can return to golf
or even get back to doing
anything more than just
walking.
Woods had two back
surgeries in a span of 18
months followed by what
he described only as an-
other “procedure” in the
same area last month. He
has not started rehabilita-
tion and does not know
when his back will allow for
that.
“The hardest part for me is
there’s really nothing I can
look forward to, nothing I
can build toward,” Woods
said. “It’s just taking it liter-
ally just day by day and
week by week and time by
time.”
Woods is at the Hero World
Challenge as the tourna-
ment host, not one of the
18 players at Albany Golf
Club. The only time he
touched a club was to
pose for a photo, and he
leaned on it while talking to
Justin Rose and Zach John-
son on the putting green.
