PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods described his recovery from back surgery as a "very slow process" that offered him no timetable on when he can return for a summer filled with big championships. Woods already missed the Masters, choosing to have microdiscectomy surgery March 31 to relieve pain from a pinched nerve. In a wide-ranging blog on his website Monday, Woods said he is still sore from the incision and his only contact with golf clubs is a few putts and chips that do not require him to rotate his back.
