The 45-year-old American said last month that
he had undergone a recent back surgery - his fifth - and told a
CBS broadcast Sunday that he was waiting on the results of an
upcoming MRI to see when he might return to action.
Asked if fans could expect him to reach the final round of the
Masters this April, Woods replied: "God, I hope so."
"I've got to get there first," said Woods, who is just one win
shy of clinching a PGA Tour record 83 victories.
"A lot of it's based on my surgeons and my doctors, my
therapists and making sure I do it correctly," said Woods. "This
is the only back I got so I don't know how much more wiggle room
(I have) left there."
Two years ago Woods capped one of the most remarkable comeback
stories in all of professional sport when he ended an 11-year
major drought to pick up his fifth Masters win.
Speaking at the Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades,
California, where he served as host, Woods said he was focusing
on plenty of putting drills as he works his way back to form.
"Still in the gym, still doing the mundane stuff that you have
to do for rehab, the little things, before I can start
gravitating toward something a little more," Woods said.
