"It [the back] is better than it was. I've got about 20 hours until I tee off, or until I'm supposed to tee off tomorrow, so we'll see. I'm taking it sort of hour by hour, but it feels better - that's all I can say. I couldn't stand to address the ball on Saturday morning on the range at Bay Hill and it's obviously better than that."
"I wouldn't even call it pain - I would say just more like sensitivity. Even just hitting balls there for a little bit, just feel like my muscles around the area just getting a little bit tight, and that's what's causing the issue."
Rory McIlroy, defending champion at The Players Championship, withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week due to a back problem involving spasms and tightness. He arrived at TPC Sawgrass on Wednesday to receive additional physiotherapy treatment, which prevented him from completing a practice round. McIlroy described his condition as improving but remained non-committal about defending his title, calling it a game-time decision. He characterized his issue as sensitivity rather than pain, with restrictions limiting him to hitting up to a six-iron during practice. McIlroy indicated positive signs with approximately 20 hours before his scheduled tee-off.
