Tiger Woods has yet to swing a golf club since twice undergoing procedures on his troublesome back and was unable to commit to playing golf at all in 2016.
At a news conference Tuesday in advance of the Hero World Challenge, Woods spoke pessimistically about his immediate future in the game, saying he has yet to begin rehabilitation and doesn't know when he will be able to resume full activities.
"I have no answer for that and neither does my surgeon,'' Woods said at Albany Golf Club, where he will be a spectator for the annual tournament that benefits his foundation.
"There is no timetable, so that's the hardest part for me.
There's really nothing I can look forward to, nothing I can build toward.
Asked what he is able to do, Woods said, "I walk.
And I walk and I walk some more.''
