Tiger Woods Counts It A Success That He's Playing Golf Again

DOUG FERGUSON, AP Golf Writer

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — A year after Tiger Woods struggled just to get on his feet, he can't wait to get started in his return to golf.

Woods was a mixture of optimism and reality Tuesday when he spoke about coming back after a 15-month hiatus, the longest break of his career. He says his goals haven't changed, but that it would be a tall order for him to post low scores after being gone for so long.

Woods says one year has made a massive difference. He says the reason he offered such a bleak outlook last year at this tournament was because he struggled to get out of bed, much less swing a club.

He says no matter what he shoots, the week is a success because he's playing again.
