Agent rubbishes Tiger health reports
At that time Woods said of the operation, “Via Golf.com: It’s one of those things that had to be done”.
“That tweets that appeared about Tiger’s health are ridiculous and absolutely false, ” Steinberg said in a statement.
Lusetich had this to say in a tweet: “I’m told #TigerWoods condition worsened”. Sitting is painful. If he rides in the auto, he sits in the passenger seat, he has to fully recline the seat to avoid pain. “No forseeable return. Sad”.
ESPN contacted Mark Steinberg but got nothing back in terms of when he’ll be returning to action on the PGA Tour, with the last information from Woods himself coming at the Hero World Challenge back in December.
He hasn’t been seen in a tournament since the Wyndham Championship last August, but his caddie, Joe LaCava, isn’t looking for other work.
He underwent a second procedure on September 16, 2015 to deal with a disk fragment that was pinching a nerve, and six weeks later underwent another procedure to address continuing discomfort.
The account has been wrong about Woods matters in the past, saying last summer that the 14-time major victor had fired instructor Chris Como around the Quicken Loans National. Tiger is a 30 something old man in a 80 year-old body.
‘The frustrating part was not being able to build on it throughout the year. People have wondered when Tiger would make his return to the course and today reports came out that indicate it won’t be anytime soon. Since that time, he has had to have two surgeries on his lower back. After his season ended, Woods went to visit his surgeon in Utah and learned the source of the pain was again his back.
I’ll just add this: For reports that supposedly are completely fabricated, there’s some pretty good detail in there. It will be new, fun and special.
