Former world number one Tiger Woods said December 1, 2015 he has no date for his return from back surgery, revealing that he had yet to hit a ball since undergoing two operations to alleviate pain from a pinched nerve. Woods, speaking at the Hero World Challenge at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas which benefits his foundation, said he was frustrated by the inability to set a date for his return.

LOS ANGELES: Tweets indicating Tiger Woods has suffered a serious setback in his return from a third back surgery are “absolutely false”, the 14-time Major golf champion’s agent Mark Steinberg said.

Twitter posts from two different handles – one of them longtime golf writer Robert Lusetich – suggest that the 40-year-old superstar’s rehabilitation was not going well and that his condition had deteriorated.
