Tiger Woods has never looked as down in the dumps as he did today.
The best golfer in the world, at one point at least, is trying to recover from a back injury, but in a press conference this evening hinted that his time on the golf course may in fact be over.
Woods has not hit a ball in anger on the professional tour since his last appearance at the Wyndham event back in August and is currently recovering from a third operation on the troublesome injury.
This evening he addressed reporters before this weekend’s Hero World Challenge, which he hosts, but his comments would suggest he may have played golf on the PGA tour for the very last time.
“There is no timetable … Literally taking it day-by-day and week-by-week." — Tiger Woods on his return to competitive golf. #PGATOUR

No timetable for his return. "Nothing to look forward to." Different from other procedures. Everything in the air.

The reaction to the comments suggest that Tiger may be about to call time on his career:
Most pleasant, thoughtful answers I've ever seen-heard in a Tiger Woods press conference. Which only means (sadly) he's near the end…

Certainly the least of optimistic and, really, most sad press conference of Tiger Woods' career.
