TIGER Woods’ back injury appears to be getting worse, with reports claiming the 14-times Major winner’s movement is restricted, he sits in a car seat “fully reclined” and has no forseeable return to competitive golf.

Robert Lusetich, author of Unplayable: An Inside Account of Tiger’s Most Tumultuous Season, tweeted this ominous news overnight:

 

However, Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg rubbished the reports which came from Lusetich and the Twitter account of Secret Tour pro.

The tweets that appeared this weekend about Tiger’s health are ridiculous and absolutely false,” Steinberg said in a statement Monday. “It’s reprehensible that every few months someone makes something up and it’s treated like a real story. Tiger continues to work on his rehabilitation and we will have an accurate update at the appropriate time.”

This shocking news comes only months after the most depressing press conference of the 40-year-old’s career, in which he said there was “no light at the end of the tunnel”.

Woods suggested his rehab was comprised of walking, playing video games. “I’ve no answer. Neither does my surgeon or physio. There’s no timetable,” he said.
