Fatiha Betscher  Tiger Woods admitted he is still a long way to returning to full PGA Tour competition, he is not as powerful, is lacking the ball speed and the result of his body being a ‘bit banged-up’ ahead of contesting this weekend’s PNC Championship. Woods was speaking for only a second time in public and following Friday’s 18-hole pro-am on the Lakes Course at the Ritz Carlton resort in suburban Orlando. Unlike, his 40-minute sit-down recently ahead of the ...

…. Fatiha Betscher  Tiger Woods admitted, and as an indication, he is still a long way to returning to full PGA Tour competition, if it were not for being able to use a motorized buggy this week he would not be contesting this weekend’s PNC Championship.
