Tiger Woods: Recovery from back operation not as fast as I'd like - 'I still want to make another comeback'

Tiger Woods admitted his recovery from a back operation is not as quick as he would like, meaning he cannot 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, but has not yet considered when his outdoor season will start.

Woods turns 50 at the end of the month, meaning he qualifies for the PGA Tour Champions season, but the 15-time major winner has not made any commitments on that front yet.
