Tiger Woods: 'I'm Close, and I Won't Stop Until I Get There'

Yesterday Tiger Woods put his comeback on hold, withdrawing from this week's Safeway Open and the Turkish Airlines Open in early November. Following is his full statement.

After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA TOUR or compete in Turkey. My health is good, and I feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to be.

When I announced last week I was going to Safeway, I had every intention of playing, or I wouldn't have committed.
