TORONTO. — Moments after Tiger Woods said he was “progressing nicely” from back surgery, the former world number one golfer hit three balls into the water on a short par-three hole on Monday.
Woods, at Congressional Country Club to promote the June 23-26 Quicken Loans National, which he hosts, took three shots at the 102-yard 10th. The first two went directly in the water and the third hit a slope before rolling in. “See, I need a warm-up,” Woods said after the final shot. Prior to the exhibition, Woods said he still had no idea when he will make his return to the PGA Tour. “If I knew, I would tell you because it would be fun to know,” said Woods, who has not competed since the Wyndham Championship in August.

“It would be nice to know that I am going to play on such a date, but I don’t know. I’m still trying to get stronger, I’m trying to get more pliable. I’m hitting the ball better.” Woods, who first had back surgery in 2014, was seemingly injury-free in 2015 but then had a second microdisectomy in September and a follow-up procedure six weeks later. — Reuters.
