Notah Begay III said that Tiger Woods is “taking it real easy” after undergoing a second back surgery earlier this month.
Speaking on an NBC Sports conference call, Begay that his former college teammate is “giving it a little extra time to heal up before he starts rehabilitation. He’s just spending a lot of time at home and going to soccer games and watching Sam and Charlie play their fall soccer.
“It’s hard. It’s a challenge to be on the couch, but you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.”
Woods, who turns 40 in December, is not expected to return to competition until January 2016, at the earliest.
