Tiger Woods has no timetable on healing or playing

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — 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 another "procedure" in the same area in October.

Woods is at the Hero World Challenge as the tournament host, not one of the 18 players at Albany Golf Club.

Yeah, Woods said.

Because as I was alluding to that week and subsequent weeks, I felt my hip was killing me and I didn't think it was coming from my back.

He has not won since the Bridgestone Invitational in 2013, when he was the PGA Tour player of the year.

For nerves, there are really no timetables and therein lies the tricky part of it because you can come back earlier or you can come back later.

[...] he sounded at peace with what he already has done — 79 career victories on the PGA Tour (second only to the 82 by Sam Snead), 14 majors (second to 18 by Jack Nicklaus), PGA Tour player of the year a record 11 times.
