A month after fusion surgery on his back, Tiger Woods stated Wednesday that he experienced “instant nerve relief� and added, “I haven’t felt this good in years.� Woods provided the update on his health in a blog post on his website. On April 20, Woods announced that his latest back surgery – his fourth since 2014 – would require a recovery time of potentially six months, thus knocking him out of the rest of the 2016-17 PGA TOUR season. On Wednesday, he put to rest any rumors that he’s contemplating retirement. “I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again,� he wrote. He noted that the long-term prognosis “is positive. My surgeon and physiotherapist say the operation was successful. It’s just a matter of not screwing up and letting it fuse.� Woods added that he remains focused on his rehabilitation, which includes walking and specified exercises. “Presently, I’m not looking ahead,� Woods wrote. “I can’t twist for another two and a half to three months. Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me. I am concentrating on short-term goals.� Woods acknowledged that his rehab has “a long way to go� but that he’s glad to be pain-free. “You mention the word ‘fusion,’ and it’s scary,� Woods wrote. “Other guys who have had fusions or disc replacements like Davis Love III, Retief Goosen, Lee Trevino, Lanny Wadkins and Dudley Hart … they have all come back and played. “But more than anything, it made their lives better. That’s the most important thing … that I can have a life again with my kids.�
