NARASHINO, Japan: Tiger Woods said Monday his fitness was ahead of schedule after arthroscopic knee surgery, and dropped a heavy clue he might use one of his four Presidents Cup captain's picks on himself.
He then intends to round off his year by playing in the Hero World Challenge on Dec 4, before going to Australia to captain Team USA in the Presidents Cup which begins on Dec 13. "It progressively got worse and got to the point where it was affecting even reading putts," the 43-year-old Woods said. "The way I was feeling towards the middle part of the year, it was going to be a tall order to be able to do it all."
