Tiger Woods has claimed that he is still in the process of returning to his best form ahead of this week's Players Championship.

The former world number one has struggled for consistency in recent months but has still managed to climb back into the top 10 in the world.

Woods said: "There's certain times when, yeah, you make great strides forward, and there's other times where you're going to take a stride or two backwards. It's a process.

"As we all know, golf is a work in progress, and you've just got to continue working, keep trying to get better."

Woods will be aiming to win the tournament at Sawgrass for the first time since 2001.
