BEIJING, Dec. 19 -- Tiger Woods has no idea when he will return to competitive golf next year, despite being ahead of schedule in his recovery from reconstructive knee surgery. The world No. 1 has been sidelined since winning the U.S. Open in June when he defied stabbing knee pain and a double stress fracture of his left tibia to clinch his 14th major title.
Ideally he would like to play in at least a warm-up event before the U.S. Masters in April, the first major of the season, but he knows that will depend on the pace of his healing.
Golfer Tiger Woods speaks at a news conference in Thousand Oaks, California, Dec. 17, 2008. Woods has no idea when he will return to competitive golf next year, despite being ahead of schedule in his recovery from reconstructive knee surgery.
"I've just been training and trying to get back, trying to get healthy enough to compete next year," Woods told a news conference on Wednesday on the eve of the Chevron World Challenge which he hosts.
"Everything has been right on schedule. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The strength has come back better than ever. I'm stronger than I've ever been in my legs.
"The range of motion is good. The only difference is I've just got to watch that I don't overdo it so the leg doesn't swell."
Asked when he expected to return to the PGA Tour, the 32-year-old American replied: "I don't know.
"I don't know how it's going to respond with repeated practice days and long days of practice trying to get back, and ultimately playing my way into shape. That's obviously going to take a little bit of time."
