Golf star Tiger Woods expecting late May return
American golf star Tiger Woods has been recovering well from knee surgery to such an extent that he thinks he will be able to return to the action by the end of May.
The world number one golfer had had an operation in April on his left knee, but now he thinks he may be fit enough to play in the Memorial tournament, beginning on 29 May, and he said: "If I can't play before, then hopefully at the US Open."
The US Open is being held from 12-15 June at California's Torrey Pines, so there is time for Woods to get fully recovered.
Tiger Woods added: "The rehab is going well. I've been training hard. I'm getting sick and tired of riding the bike, though. I'm chipping and putting. I'm not doing anything beyond that. Hopefully I'll start hitting balls, start progressing soon and work my way up the bag."
Woods originally had surgery on the knee in 1994 to destroy a benign tumour but then had a further operation in December 2002.
