Recovering Tiger Woods on if he'll play Masters: 'God, I hope so'

LOS ANGELES – Tiger Woods spoke publicly for the first time since he underwent his fifth back surgery, but the 45-year-old didn’t appear poised for another comeback.

“I’m feeling fine. I’m a little stiff. I have one more MRI scheduled so that we’ll see if the annulus is scared over finally and then I can start doing more activities,” Woods said during Sunday's CBS telecast of the Genesis Invitational. “Still in the gym, still doing the mundane stuff that you have to do for rehab. The little things where I can start gravitating toward something more.”

Specific to when he might play next, Woods was asked if he planned to be at Augusta National for this April's Masters Tournament.
