Tiger at AT& National

Tiger Woods is at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa., for this week's AT&T National. Unfortunately for him and Philadelphia-area golf fans, Woods is not entered in the $6.2 million PGA Tour event. Instead, he's serving as the non-playing host of the tournament, which benefits his Tiger Woods Foundation.

Sporting a new beard and wearing a protective boot on his left foot as part of the rehab process for his injured Achilles' tendon and left knee, Woods admitted that he's not sure when he'll return to competitive golf. "There's no timetable," he said. "That's hard for me. I've always been very goal-oriented about when I'm going to play, how I'm going to peak, how I'm going to get ready, how my practice schedule is going to be, and I'm not doing that this time."

After re-injuring his leg on the first tee shot at the Players Championship in mid-May, Woods has been forced to miss the U.S. Open and, according to hints he made Tuesday, most likely will miss the British Open, July 14-17 at Royal St. George's Golf Club in Sandwich, England.

"In retrospect I came back probably too early at the Players, and it was borderline whether I should play or not. I've played hurt, I've played in pain. That's just part of playing sports. And I felt that was the same thing. Unfortunately I pushed it too hard and hurt myself, and this time around I'm not going to do that again."

He also paid kudos to Rory McIlroy, who swept to a record-breaking, eight-stroke win in the U.S. Open at Congressional two weeks ago. "That was some seriously good playing," Woods said of the 22-year-old Northern Irishman.

"You had to go out there and be aggressive and go get the birdies because everyone else was; everyone else was making three, four, five, six birdies a day and he just didn't make any bogeys. That was very impressive playing. To do that at a U.S. Open, to be that aggressive the entire time, that was cool to watch."

Besides saying he won't return to golf until he can "get more explosive again," Woods touched on a variety of subjects during a lengthy Q&A at Aronomink with reporters. Here's what else he had to say.

MODERATOR: We'd like to welcome Tiger Woods to the interview room here at the AT&T National. Welcome, Tiger. If you would get us started maybe talking about how you're feeling and then your plans for the week.

TIGER WOODS: Well, feeling good. Just had lunch, so I feel good. No, we're excited about this week. This is our fifth year hosting this event with AT&T National, second year here at Aronimink. We're excited about the week. This week is actually a big week for us because we just launched a new learning center campus here in Philly, the KIPP DuBois School, so we're very excited about that. I know we're only here for two years, so it's exciting for us to leave a campus to leave behind here.
