    Tiger Woods has admitted his recovery from a back operation is not as quick as he would like, meaning he is unable to put a date on his return to golf or even commit to a playing schedule

    Tiger Woods has admitted his recovery from a back operation is not as quick as he would like, meaning he is unable to put a date on his return to golf or even commit to a playing schedule


    The 49-year-old had disc replacement surgery in October but has only just been cleared to start chipping and putting.

    He is hoping to be able to play in the latter stages of the TGL, the indoor simulator made-for-television event which finishes in early March.

    Woods turns 50 at the end of the month, meaning he qualifies for the PGA Tour Champions season.
