(Reuters) - Tiger Woods says he is ready to play golf again this week after the former world number one withdrew from last week's Northern Trust (NASDAQ:NTRS) due to back pain.
Woods arrived on Tuesday at Medinah, Illinois, venue for this week's BMW Championship, and said he would play in the second event of the FedEx (NYSE:FDX) Cup playoffs.
“I feel good,” Woods told Golfweek. “Feel a lot better than I felt last week. Felt good this morning so I thought I’d give it a go.”
Woods, 43, said he would get treatment on Tuesday but would not hit any golf balls.
The 15-times major champion has an early morning tee time for Wednesday's pro-am and an early afternoon start in the first round on Thursday.
Lying 38th in the FedEx Cup standings, Woods will need a strong showing this week since only the top 30 advance to next week's Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.
