Tiger Woods doesn't have a clear view of the future, whether that's his playing schedule for the PGA Tour's negotiations with the Saudi funders of LIV Golf.

“I’m not tournament sharp yet,” Woods said Tuesday at his pre-tournament news conference. “I’m still not there. These are 20 of the best players in the world and I’m not sharp enough to compete against them at this level. So when I’m ready to compete and play at this level, then I will.” If that sounds regurgitated, it’s because it is.

Less than three months removed from back surgery, the Hero World Challenge host is sitting out this week and hasn't decided on playing later this month.
