Golf: Woods about to start the tournament:”I haven’t felt this good in years.”

Golf superstar Tiger Woods apparently tackles his first tournament this year without any complaints:”It feels good to be able to exercise normally and not feel pain radiating into the leg,” said the 14-time Major Winner before starting at the Farmers Insurance Open in La Jolla, California:”I haven’t felt so good in years.

Woods has suffered from persistent back pain since his early retirement from the Dubai tournament on 3 March. Feb. 2017 no longer played on the tour. It was only in November that the US-American made his comeback at the Hero World Challenge, which he organized himself. In between, in April, the former number one in the world ranking list had been operated on his damaged back for the fourth time.

The 42-year-old’s start into the new year on the Torrey Pines Golf Course could be a good omen. I don’t know what to expect,”said the 42-year-old, who once again emphasized:” I just want to play tournaments and get back to a rhythmic pace “.
