TIGER Woods is back at home after a week of family counseling in Arizona and is trying to get into a routine that includes golf and fitness, a person with knowledge of his schedule said on Tuesday.
Woods returned to his home near Orlando, Florida, on Saturday and has been hitting balls on the range at Isleworth, not far from where he ran his car into a tree in an accident on November 27 that set off revelations of his extramarital affairs.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because only Woods is authorized to release information about his schedule, said there was still no timetable for golf's No. 1 player to return to competition.
Woods was photographed hitting golf balls at Isleworth on February 18, the day before he ended nearly three months of silence by speaking to a small group of associates in a statement that was televised around the world. Those photos of Woods were arranged to counter the paparazzi trying to follow his every move.
Woods has not practiced in earnest since winning the Australian Masters in Melbourne on November 15.
News of him getting back into a routine is sure to begin speculation when he might return to the US PGA Tour. Woods announced on December 4 that he was taking an "indefinite break" to try to salvage his marriage.
"I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don't know when that day will be," Woods said on February 19 in his statement at Sawgrass. "I don't rule out that it will be this year."
Woods said he was leaving the next day for more therapy, without saying what kind. The person who spoke to The Associated Press said he went to Arizona for a week of family and marriage counseling with his wife, Elin.
Woods said at Sawgrass of his infidelity, "As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words; it will come from my behavior over time. We have a lot to discuss; however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us."
Woods is not likely to play next week in the World Golf Championship at Doral.
