Tiger Woods, the living legend of golf, is going to be back on the golf course pretty soon. In a press conference, held at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks California, on December 17, 2008, Tiger Woods told reporters that he was right on schedule and hitting short irons. He was excited about playing on a leg that had never been more stable. In the press conference, Tiger Woods talked about various subjects with reporters including his caddie’s comments on Phil Mickelson.

This is Tiger Woods’ first press conference after 184 days. One of the most important issues in the press conference was the surgery on his left knee and his career. Tiger Woods underwent a reconstructive surgery on his left knee. A ruptured ligament on his left knee was repaired. This is his third surgery in six years. The surgery took place in June 24, 2008. In the press conference, he was wearing sneakers instead of spikes.

Regarding his career, Tiger Woods talked about his fabulous victory at Torrey Pines but he did not give out any specific answer about his future plans. He said:

“I’ve just been training and trying to get healthy enough to compete next year. Everything has been right on schedule. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

Regarding his caddie, Steve Williams’ comment about golfer Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods told reporters that he talked about it with Phil and it is over, they had put it to bed.
