The 14-time major winner has not played a competitive round of golf since a 10th-place finish at the Wyndham Championship last August. A second microdiscectomy of his back took place in September, and he underwent a cleanup procedure to alleviate discomfort in October. Woods has not offered a firm timetable for his return.
