BACKS SURE ARE A PROBLEM on the circuit: Tiger Woods, Jason Day and, in case you haven't heard, Nick Watney.
According to an AP story by Doug Ferguson, Watney is out for the season due to a herniated disc in his lower back. He took a month off and thought he'd return for the Florida Swing, but the back isn't getting better.
''I just don't want it to turn into a chronic thing and have it every few years,'' he told Ferguson.
''I'm rehabbing. But I don't want to have surgery, and that's part of the reason I'm going to take the year off.
