Tiger Woods continues fighting to return to the game of golf while recognising reality is a steep climb.

Woods was visibly shaken and emotional retracing the winding road in his return to the public eye Tuesday at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

“This year has been a year I’d like to turn the page on,” said Woods, who turns 46 in 30 days. “It’s been full of some tough memoºries and tough times. But it would be nice to turn the page.”

Woods said amputation “was on the table” during the three-week hospital recovery in California.

“I’m lucky to be alive and also have a limb,” Woods said.
