As the golf world anxiously awaits his return, Tiger Woods played five holes of golf Monday at Bluejack National and declared himself “on the back side” of recovery, but still without a timetable for his return to pro golf.

According to Global Golf Post‘s Ron Green, who was at Bluejack National (he even took over Woods’ Twitter account while Woods played), it was the first time that Woods has played full holes since two back surgeries last fall.

“I’m definitely a little tired but I feel pretty good,” Woods said in an interview after his round in Montgomery, Texas. “I haven’t been out here playing like this. I hadn’t played any holes until today. I know people have said I’ve played holes back at Medalist, but I haven’t. This is actually the first time I’ve played holes since Wyndham. It’s been awhile.”

It was reported Monday that Woods registered for the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont, but Woods said later at Bluejack that he hasn’t “set any date to when I’m playing again.” The 40-year-old hasn’t played since the Wyndham Championship last August.

“I still have a long ways to go, (but) I’m on the back side,” Woods said, according to ESPN’s Bob Harig. “I’m getting better, but I’m also getting closer to feeling better every day.”

Harig reported that Woods’ U.S. Open registration was “simply procedural,” according to Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg. He also said that Woods tested out two drivers on Monday

“I’ve got to get stronger and I’ve got to get faster,” Woods said. “I’m not hitting it very far right now. I still have a lot more to go in the tank as far as speed, which is great. I’m able to hit the ball as far as I am right now just cruising.”

Woods is making progress, but it is still a mystery as to when we will see him back playing competitive golf.
