During a practice game with Patrick Reed at Hoylake, golf superstar, Tiger Woods, talked about his road to recovery from his recent back surgery.

In an interview with ESPN, Woods said that he is slowly getting back to his old game.

"I'm not favoring anything. The little baby steps worked. We were very diligent about what I was doing. Going into it we pushed it pretty hard to get my abs and glutes strong so when I did come back I was able to rebound fast. I can do whatever I want. I'm at that point now. We didn't think we'd get to that point until this tournament or the week after," he added.

Tiger Woods, according to CBS Sports, will be participating in the British Open which is set to start next Thursday. This is the first major championship that the golfer will participate in after he had his back surgery earlier this year.

"Before I had the procedure, I was at the point I couldn't do anything. This is how I used to feel. I had been playing with [the back injury] for a while and I had my good weeks and bad weeks. Now they are all good," Woods told ESPN.

CBS Sports added that even if Woods missed the cut when he participated at the recent Quicken Loans National, he's still determined to turn things around.

"Congressional was big for me. The fact I could go out there and play and I got better as the days went on. It was a little bit eerie and iffy if that was going to happen or not, especially with how hard I was hitting the ball.

"But I've got my speed back, which is nice, and I'm starting to hit the ball out there again. I'm only going to get stronger. As the weeks go on, I'm getting strong and faster."

According to ESPN, the player has stepped up his preparations for the upcoming British Open at his Florida home.
