The world of golf is eager to know when Tiger Woods will return to action after back surgery, yet not even the man himself can set a date.
Woods was forced to pull out of the Masters for the first time last month after undergoing an operation on March 31 -- having struggled for several weeks with a pinched nerve in his back -- and he has been sidelined ever since,[url=http://www.oksko.com/]Nike Norge[/url].
The surgery was successfully performed in Utah by neurosurgeon Dr Charles Rich, with the world No. 1 being told he needed time to rest and rehabilitate.
But while the recovery time from such an operation is usually three to four months, Woods remains clueless as to when he will next tee off on a golf course.
As I've said several times, I hope to be back sometime this summer, but I just don't know when," he wrote on his official website.
"I'm doing everything I can and listening to my doctors and working on a strength program, and then we just have to see how my back is.
"Some people heal up in three months,[url=http://www.oksko.com/nike-shox-34]Nike Shox[/url], some people take four months, some people take longer. I just don't know."
Woods, who has begun cycling and swimming as he builds up his strength and fitness,[url=http://www.oksko.com/air-max-33]Billige Nike Air Max[/url], had been struggling since last year with the back injury,[url=http://www.oksko.com/nike-free-38]Billige Nike Free[/url], which severely hampered his game in the opening months of 2014 leading up to the Masters.
In March, the condition forced him to stop playing after 13 holes of his final round at the Honda Classic.
When he tried to return to action the following week at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Miami, he aggravated the injury.
And he then withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational,[url=http://www.oksko.com/air-max-33]Nike Air Max[/url], explaining that neither the back spasms nor pain had subsided.
I made the decision to have surgery because physically I just couldn't make a golf swing. That pretty much sums it up," said the American. "Once I begin swinging a club again, I'm not sure if I will have to make any changes to protect my back."
He added: "We have to make sure my back heals fine and I have the strength and mobility going forward,[url=http://www.oksko.com/]Nike Sko[/url]."
Had Woods been fit, he would be preparing to defend his title at the Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach this week,[url=http://www.oksko.com/nike-shox-34]Billige Nike Shox[/url], with the event getting underway Thursday.
While he is frustrated to be missing out on the action, the 14-time major winner is at least encouraged by the slow-but-sure progress he is making.
