The 41-year-old golfer has been recovering from recent back surgery and last blogged about his health on May 24. He wrote that the surgery had relieved terrible pain and that he hadn't "felt this good in years".

He said the outlook for a return to competitive golf was "positive" but that he was not in a "hurry".

"I want to play professional golf again but I'm not looking ahead," he said.

"I can't twist for another two and a half to three months. Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me. I am concentrating on short-term goals."
