MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tiger
Woods has not started re-
habilitation for a second
back surgery he had a
month ago, and he said
Tuesday he would face an-
other “tedious and long”
process that suggests it
might be awhile before he
competes again.
Woods last played at the
Wyndham Champion on
Aug. 23, where he tied for
10th for his best finish at a
PGA Tour event in nearly
two years.
In a surprise announce-
ment Sept. 18, he said he
had a second back sur-
gery after doctors during a
routine check discovered
a fragmented disc pinch-
ing a nerve. Woods had his
first surgery just before the
2014 Masters and missed
nearly three months. He
said later he came back
too early.
