Tiger Woods reveals that he struggled to even walk

Tiger Woods has revealted that he struggled to walk and needed help getting out of bed during his recovery from a back injury.

Tiger underwent back surgery in April and was out of action for over ten months before making a successful comeback at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, where he finished T9.

"I hadn't played without pain for a long time - it was nice to just go out there and chill out," the 42 year-old has written on his website.

"During that 10-month period I was away from the game, I had a hard time walking and often needed assistance getting out of bed.

"I appreciate competitive golf now more than I ever have."

Woods added that he would "love" to play a full schedule in 2018.

"I'm continuing to progress and trying to get strong enough to where I can handle a workload again," he wrote.

"What that entails, including back-to-back events, I don't know. This is all uncharted territory."
