Woods will be wise to take all the time he needs

Just before noon on Wednesday at his new Florida watering hole, Tiger Woods was scheduled to speak with the U.S. media for the first time since undergoing his second microdisectomy surgery.

He would have told the gathered scribes that it’s “certainly disappointing,” but that he anticipates a “full recovery,” because that’s what he said in a statement on his website following the September surgery, and no one stays on message better than Woods.

But Tiger was unable to explain any this on Wednesday at The Woods Jupiter because of another “procedure” last month to “relieve discomfort” in his back.
