“I’m not tournament sharp yet,” Woods said Tuesday at his pre-tournament news conference. “I’m still not there. These are 20 of the best players in the world and I’m not sharp enough to compete against them at this level. So when I’m ready to compete and play at this level, then I will.” If that sounds regurgitated, it’s because it is.

Highlights from Woods' annual presser in the Bahamas, including remarks on his health, PIF talks and PGA Tour changes.

Tiger Woods said he is not “physically ready” to compete, and it’s hard to overlook his pessimism. After having another back surgery in September, Tiger Woods is not among the 20-man field at the Hero World Challenge this week.
