Tiger Woods said he was "tired" but felt "pretty good" Monday after playing a few holes for the first time since August.

That doesn't give Woods a lot of time to prepare, but he said he's glad to get back to everyday activities, per Harig:

It's been a long road. To actually be able to play soccer with my kids again, to do something like this, to be able to live life ... that's what's been nice. Five months ago I couldn't. To be three months out of surgery and feel like that, it was tough. I still have a long ways to go. [But] I'm on the back side. I'm getting better, but I'm also getting closer to feeling better every day.
