Tiger Woods sidelined indefinitely after back surgeries

NASSAU, Bahamas -- Tiger Woods is painting a bleak picture on his return to golf by saying he has no idea when his back will heal.

Woods has gone through three procedures in the same spot in his back in the last 19 months. He said Tuesday he has not started rehabilitation and does not know when his back will allow him to do that. He says his only exercise is to walk, and he occupies most of the day playing video games.

Woods is at the Hero World Challenge as the tournament host. The only time he held a golf club was to pose for a picture.

He has not played since a tie for 10th in the Wyndham Championship on Aug. 23.
