Tiger Woods free of neck pain ahead of Players Championship Globe_Sports
“I’m 43 with four back surgeries so must manage what I have and understand that I’m going to have good weeks and bad weeks and try and manage as best I possibly can and not push it,” Woods said Tuesday after a nine-hole practice round at The Players Championship.“There are times when over the years I pushed it, pushed through a few things, and I’ve won a few tournaments doing it that way,” he said. “But also, I’ve cost myself a few years here and there because of it.
It flared up again at the Genesis Open last month, and then got worse in Mexico City the following week. Woods played between five and six times before the Masters during younger and healthier times over the last 15 years. Long before the back surgeries, he had four surgeries on his left knee, the worst of them in 2008 a week after he won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. He also has dealt with an Achilles’ heel problem and what he described as a left arm issue at the 2013 U.S. Open.
