Tiger Woods continues to face a battle with fitness ahead of The Masters, with injury issues hampering his potential appearance.

The five-time Masters champion underwent lumbar disk replacement surgery in October, while he also ruptured his left Achilles last March.

Woods, a 15-time major winner, has not played in any event since the Open Championship at Royal Troon in 2024.

And the 50-year-old remains unsure whether he will be able to overcome injury issues to feature at the Augusta National Golf Club next month.

"I said I've been working on it," Woods said after the TGL semi-finals. "Sometimes I have good days, sometimes I have bad days. Disk replacement is not a lot of fun. ...

"So as I said, I've had a lot of procedures prior to that, so the body doesn't quite heal like it was when I was 24. Doesn't quite bounce back.

"So I have good days when I can pretty much do anything, and other days where it's hard to just to move around."

Woods has been acting as manager of TGL side Jupiter Links, with the team set to play against Los Angeles in the finals starting next Monday.

Max Homa, Tom Kim and Akshay Bhatia will again play, however, with Woods unable to make a comeback.

"Well, I think that I have been trying to play each and every one of these matches," he said. "I've been trying to come back. But it just hasn't worked out that way.

"But the guys here, this team, we have so much fun, I really don't want to screw up the lineup, I just want these guys to keep playing."
