NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) -- Tiger Woods has gone through two back surgeries since he last played a golf tournament 15 months ago. He had another back surgery that knocked him out of the Masters for the first time in 2014. He had four knee surgeries before that.

Els is more curious about what's going on in his head.
''The talent's there. It's been proven. It doesn't go away,'' Els said. ''It's what you think of yourself. It's what you think where you are.
