Late last month Tiger Woods hinted at potentially playing the Masters in April when he said, "there is," in response to legendary broadcaster Jim Nantz asking if there was any possibility he'd be able to pursue another Green Jacket.
Fast forward a month later and Woods still hasn't ruled out playing Augusta National next month, but he did offer a more pessimistic view given where he's at in his return from another back surgery.
"I said I've been working on it," Woods said after his TGL team Jupiter Links defeated longtime friend Rory McIlroy's Boston Common to advance in the playoffs. "Sometimes I have good days, sometimes I have bad days. Disk replacement is not a lot of fun."

"So as I said, I've had a lot of procedures prior to that, so the body doesn't quite heal like it was when I was 24. Doesn't quite bounce back. So I have good days when I can pretty much do anything, and other days where it's hard to just to move around," he added.
With the victory over McIlroy's team on Tuesday night, Jupiter Links will play Los Angeles in the finals starting Monday, March 23. Woods revealed he has attempted to play in the last few matches, but hasn't been able to fully recover enough to compete – a worrying sign with the Masters just three weeks away.
"Well, I think that I have been trying to play each and every one of these matches," he said. "I've been trying to come back. But it just hasn't worked out that way. ... But the guys here, this team, we have so much fun, I really don't want to screw up the lineup, I just want these guys to keep playing."
The Masters tees off on April 9.
