"It has been just over a month since I underwent fusion surgery on my back, and it is hard to express how much better I feel," Woods wrote on his website. "It was instant nerve relief. I haven’t felt this good in years."
Woods' season came to an abrupt halt in February, when he withdrew from a tournament in Dubai after the first round.
