WINDERMERE, Fla. -- His strength has returned after five weeks away from golf. Now Tiger Woods is looking for the same from his swing.
Woods said Monday that he has yet to hit golf balls since missing the cut at the PGA Championship on Aug. 8, all part of a plan to work on his strength and fitness after a recurrence of back issues that first led to surgery on March 31.
"I haven't swung a ping k15 driver yet," Woods said at a news conference to promote his annual tournament, now called the Hero World Challenge. "I've just been shadow swinging without a ping g30 driver for sale, but I've been busting my butt in the gym pretty hard.
"I've got my strength back, which is nice. Now the next goal is to get my explosiveness and my fast twitch going, and that's the next phase of my training."
Woods also said he has made no decisions on hiring a coach. Woods parted ways with his instructor of four years, Sean Foley, a few weeks ago. He left open the possibility of continuing without a coach.
Woods, 38, has not played with ping i20 irons since missing the cut at the PGA Championship. That was just his eighth tournament of 2014, an aborted season due to surgery to alleviate a disk problem in his back.
He returned for four events but had to withdraw during the final round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational because of a different back issue. He came back the next week at the PGA but was clearly in distress and was unable to play well enough to make it to the weekend.
