Tiger Woods: Finally fit
The 14-time Major winner had back surgery in March but was still troubled by the injury after he returned to competition a few weeks later.
Woods was forced to cut his season short in August this year after the pain worsened and he returned to competitive golf in December at the Hero World Challenge.
The 38-year-old told Sky Sports that he is looking forward to living a normal life, without suffering from an injury.
"I'm mostly excited about being healthy again. I've struggled for the past year-and-half with my back, and it showed in my results," he said.
"Even though I won five times two years ago, it was hit or miss some weeks and got progressively worse.
"Now that it feels healthy, strong and stable, it's fun to be able to play with my kids again, to play soccer and run around with them - things that I used take for granted.
"For anybody who has ever had a bad back with nerve damage, it's downright debilitating. To not feel that is finally just an incredible relief.
"I am still working on my playing schedule and should have it figured out shortly."
Woods' last won a Major over six and a half years ago and his last PGA Tour win came 16 months ago in Ohio.
