During Sunday\u2019s match, Jupiter Links\u2019 alpha-in-chief was asked about his readiness for competitive golf following lumbar disc replacement surgery in October. The procedure was Woods\u2019 seventh documented back surgery. It left many wondering if his playing days were, after many years of stop-start rehab, officially behind him. From the sound of things, though, that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.
