Tiger Woods on Improved Play: 'I Wasn't Sure If I'd Have a Chance to Win Again'

Ahead of his first U.S. Open appearance in three years and playing his best golf in a half-decade, Tiger Woods admitted to having some doubt about whether he could ever contend on the PGA Tour again.

"I've had my opportunities and am thankful for that. I wasn't sure if I'd have a chance to win again," Woods told reporters Tuesday.

Woods, 42, has not played a weekend at a U.S. Open since 2013. He missed a majority of the last four years due to debilitating back issues that threatened his career and rendered him a shell of himself when he was on the course.
