Woods, a 14-time major championship winner, has not played professionally since withdrawing from the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February.

The 41-year-old golfer had back surgery in April, the fourth such surgery since the spring of 2014. Last week he reiterated his intentions to return, claiming he doesn't plan to retire.

"I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again," he said. "Presently, I'm not looking ahead. I can't twist for another two and a half to three months. Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me. I am concentrating on short-term goals."
