""It's been slow," Woods said. "Not able to do much on a disc replacement to let it set; can't really do much. Now, we got the OK to start cranking up a little bit in the gym, started strengthening and started doing a little bit more of the rotational component that I haven't been able to do, just letting the disc kind of set.""
""Unfortunately, I've been through this rehab process before," Woods said. "It's just step by step. Once I get a feel for practicing, exploding, playing, the recovery process, then I can assess where I'm going to play and how much I'll play.""

Tiger Woods underwent his seventh back procedure on Oct. 10 to replace a disc that caused pain and mobility issues. Recovery has progressed slowly, with chipping and putting resumed only last week and limited activity while the disc sets. He recently received clearance to increase gym work, strengthen, and add rotational training. He will not play the Hero World Challenge, the PNC Championship with his son Charlie, or the start of the TGL indoor season. Turning 50 on Dec. 30 will make him eligible for PGA Tour Champions, where he could use a cart. Playing decisions will depend on how practice and recovery feel.
