PGA World No.1 Tiger Woods posted an extensive blog post on his personal website Monday, updating fans about his physical and mental state of mind as he progresses from microdiscectomy surgery for a pinched nerve in his back. Woods missed The Masters for the first time in his professional career last month, and is looking like the US Open is a long shot at this point.
On his blog, Woods wrote:
“It’s a very slow process. I’m still sore. Not from the procedure itself but the incision. I just need to get back to my day-to-day activities and that’s it.”
Woods laments missing THE PLAYERS Championship this week – the even at which he is the defending champion. He also says that he enjoyed watching Fred Couples and Bubba Watson at The Masters.
I actually watched quite a bit of it because Freddie [Couples] was in contention. As soon as his name went up on the leaderboard, I started watching what he was doing. Once he got off to that bad start Sunday, it wasn’t as much fun. I was happy for Bubba Watson and want to congratulate him on winning his second green jacket.
In news of a more personal nature, Woods notes that he has been joined in some aspects of his rehab by girlfriend Lindsay Vonn, the American skier who missed the last Olympic Games due to injury. Woods also notes that the time off in rehab allowed him to take a family vacation to The Bahamas for children’s Spring Break.
