"Sometimes I have good days, sometimes I have bad days. Disk replacement is not a lot of fun. ..."So as I said, I've had a lot of procedures prior to that, so the body doesn't quite heal like it was when I was 24. Doesn't quite bounce back. So I have good days when I can pretty much do anything, and other days where it's hard to just to move around."Woods, 50, underwent lumbar disk replacement surgery in October. He also ruptured his left Achilles last March.The 15-time major winner hasn't played in an event since the Open Championship at Royal Troon in 2024. He has won the Masters five times, most recently in 2019.In the meantime, Woods continues to be what he terms "the manager" of his TGL team, Jupiter Links.

"I've been trying to come back. But it just hasn't worked out that way. ... But the guys here, this team, we have so much fun, I really don't want to screw up the lineup, I just want these guys to keep playing."
