Tiger Cancels Press Conference Due To On-Going Back Spasms
/The Tiger Woods Foundation benefits from the Genesis Open proceeds and his TGR Ventures is running the tournament now. 
Woods was scheduled for a Tuesday press conference even after he chose to miss the event due to back spasms. The presser was moved to Wednesday to coincide with appearances on the property related to his Foundation and Woods Jupiter restaurant's satellite location overlooking the 10th hole.
Late Tuesday night, however, the media received this notice:
After receiving daily treatment the last several days on his on-going back spasms, Tiger Woods has again been advised by doctors to limit all activities and will not hold a press conference Wednesday. It will not be rescheduled.
I never quite understood how Woods could appear and answer the inevitable health questions in a way that left anyone feeling good. Still, that his back is keeping him from sitting or popping in on-site takes the latest setback's seriousness to another level.
**Bob Harig talks to agent Mark Steinberg, who says Woods is in California but is limiting his activity to protect his back.
"This is about the Genesis Open, the Tiger Woods Foundation and supporting Hyundai and his foundation. He is doing all he can without having to get up and move around all that much so that he can put himself in the best position to recover.''
