Tiger Woods recalls "scary times" during 15-month injury woe

Fourteen-time Major winner Tiger Woods admits that there were some "scary times" during his 15-month injury hell.

Former world number one Tiger Woods has admitted that there were some "scary times" during his 15-month absence from golf.

The 40-year-old American had a lengthy spell out of action due to two separate back surgeries, but he made his return last week at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

Woods finished 15th after carding a final-round 76 - his worst of the tournament - and ended 14 shots behind winner Hideki Matsuyama.

"There were some pretty dire times when I couldn't move. You just lay there and you can't move - those are scary times," Woods told PA. "It's great to be back playing against the best players in the world but unfortunately I made a lot of mistakes this week. I made some poor decisions.

"Getting my lights back and my body back and focusing for a long period of time - these are things I've missed for a year and a half. I made some birdies this week, which is nice. I always want to be aggressive but I made some bad mistakes. You can't make two sevens. The pain and issues I've had - it was just rough."

The 14-time Major winner now sits 650th in the world.
