Less than three months removed from back surgery, the Hero World Challenge host is sitting out this week and hasn't decided on playing later this month.

Tiger Woods said Tuesday that he's not close to being physically ready to play in PGA Tour tournaments and has a "long way to go" before he's able to compete against the world's best golfers again. Woods, 48, is not playing in this week's Hero World Challenge, an unofficial event he hosts in the Bahamas.

Looks like it's going to be more than a bit before we see Tiger Woods on the golf course. It certainly won't be this year. The 48-year-old Woods withdrew from this week's Hero World Challenge, an unofficial event he hosts in the Bahamas.
