Tiger Woods unlikely to rush his return
LOS ANGELES • Tiger Woods gave the strongest indication yet that he might not return to competition this year, saying on Sunday that he needs to be patient during his recovery from back surgeries.
The former golf world No. 1 has not played on the PGA Tour since undergoing microdiscectomy back surgery last September and, at the age of 40, has decided not to rush his comeback.
"I am playing, just I need more time. I'm older, it takes a little longer to recover and to heal and I'm going to do it right so I don't have another surgery," Woods told CBS Sports.
