Tiger Woods says his recovery from the disc replacement surgery he had in October was not going as fast as he would like and that he was still "a ways away" from figuring out a playing schedule.

The first question for Woods during his media availability ahead of this week's Hero World Challenge that he hosts in Albany, Bahamas, was about the state of his rehabilitation following the latest setback in a string of injuries that have stalled his return to the PGA Tour.
