Just after golf insider Robert Lusetich posted that Tiger Woods’ back injuries had worsened, Eldrick fired back.

Tiger hasn’t appeared in a PGA Tournament since the middle of last August, and his rehab from his latest back surgery has been arduous and grueling. Lusetich’s tweets made it seem like Tiger’s career could be closer to ending than ever, but that 13 second video should pump the brakes on that for at least a little bit.
“The tweets that appeared this weekend about Tiger’s health are ridiculous and absolutely false,” Tiger’s agent Mark Steinberg said in a statement, per Paul Pabst. “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.”
Whatever the true extent of his injury is, the reports that he couldn’t sit up in a car would probably be false if he can show himself swinging a club, though it is hard to glean the extent of any injury by just looking at this video.
