Golf icon Tiger Woods has revealed that his recovery from a recent disc replacement surgery is taking longer than expected. In a media availability session ahead of the Hero World Challenge, Woods admitted that he's not yet back on track and still has a way to go before figuring out his playing schedule. The 15-time major champion has been dealing with a string of injuries, including a ruptured left Achilles tendon surgery in March. Woods has not competed since missing the cut at the British Open in July. He recently received clearance to resume chipping and putting, a significant milestone in his rehabilitation. However, Woods is cautious about setting a timeline for his return to golf. He turns 50 next month and will be eligible for the PGA Tour Champions in 2026. While he's looking forward to getting back on the course, Woods is taking a step-by-step approach to his recovery. He's focusing on strengthening his core and regaining his rotational movement. Woods is also optimistic about competing in the TGL indoor golf league next year, although he's unlikely to make a comeback until closer to the end of the season. The golf legend has been through this process before and is taking a measured approach to ensure a successful return to the sport.
