GOLF: Tiger Woods “Long and tedious recovery” following back surgery

MEXICO CITY (AP) – Tiger Woods has not started rehabilitation for a second back surgery he had a month ago, and says he faces another “tedious and long” process that suggests it might be awhile before he competes again. Woods last played at the Wyndham Champion on Aug. 23, where he tied for 10th for his best finish at a PGA Tour event in nearly two years. Woods hasn’t won since the 2013 Bridgestone Invitational for his 79th career win on the PGA Tour, just three short of the record held by Sam Snead. He has 14 majors, four back of Jack Nicklaus, but hasn’t won a major since the 2008 U.S. Open.
