00:00Tiger Woods put on repeat fighting his way back from injury we have a video here

00:08with Tiger Woods explaining maybe the process of him getting back to the golf

00:11course. I didn't think my back was gonna go like I did this year it was it was

00:17quite painful throughout the end of the year and hence have another procedure

00:23done to it to alleviate the pain I had going down my leg and so what are my

00:29commitments going forward so once a month yeah I could say that all over

00:32again but I truly don't know I'm just trying to rehab and still get stronger

00:37and better and feel better and really give myself the best chance I I can go

00:43into next year you know this year was kind of a had to toss it away and I

00:47wasn't as sharp as I need to be and didn't play as much as I needed to going

00:51to the major championships and I didn't play well Adam so hopefully next year

00:55will be better I'll be physically stronger and better I know the procedure

00:58helped and hopefully that I can then build upon that physically stronger and

01:05better by the way from that clip Tigers been working that upper body bicep curls

01:10bench press the man looks swole out there I like it what's what happens when

01:14you spend most of your own crutches Donny most of the last two three years on

01:19crutches trying to rehab from all of these you know surgeries and procedures

01:23so great to see Tiger Woods he's playing tournament hosts down there and in the

01:27Bahamas for the hero world challenge he will not be playing in this tournament

01:31and you know for Tiger Woods what we have seen going through the majors last

01:35season it's not enough to show up every you know every six eight weeks and

01:40expect to contend with some of the best golfers in the world you look at this

01:43record he made the cut at the Masters he comes in for 60th but then misses the cut

01:48at the following three there and look that the game has gone to an all-new

01:52level when Tiger Woods was at his prime there was arguably you know another

01:57five six seven golfers who could take him down take him down if they'll play

02:01in the best golf but now Donny even at this you know smaller field event down

02:06there in the Bahamas there's 30 golfers who can tackle Tiger at any given week

02:10they're bombing it an absolute mile and we know he's got the clubhead speed he

02:14still got the skill set around the greens but if you're not getting those

02:18competitive reps in I don't care what sport what athlete it may be you're

02:22right you're facing an uphill battle and things and not getting easier especially

02:27you know at Tigers age after all these surgeries the body's telling him that

02:31this is starting to play a little catch-up and there's only so many golf

02:35courses that Tiger can't actually contend on these days it'd have to be a

02:39shorter ballpark where it's all about keeping it on the fairway where he's

02:42golf IQ and you know course history of what we have seen that particular track

02:47could be rewarded but good to see Tiger he looks fit he does look very alert so

02:52it looks like he's trending back in the right direction so Tiger Woods playing

02:55out there on the PGA Tour even he's putting up a couple of you know 95s

03:00Donnie like we'd expect to do it's still good for the sport and it will move the

03:04needle just having him back
