Tiger Woods seems ‘fine to me’, says PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem has said he thought Tiger Woods had “actually died” after hearing reports of the golfer’s demise this week.

Finchem met with Woods yesterday in Nassau ahead of the Hero World Challenge hosted by Woods’ foundation. Woods, who turns 40 on December 30, earlier in the week announce he does not have a timescale for his return.

Woods said he has not been able to begin rehabilitation work for the two back operations he has had since his last start over three months ago and there is “nothing I can look forward to”, prompting speculation that his glittering career may be coming to an end.
