Masters 2014: Injured Tiger Woods unsure on Augusta


Last updated at 18:00


World number one Tiger Woods says it is 'too soon' to say if he will recover from back pain in time for the Masters which begins on 10 April in Augusta.


The 38-year-old American missed his usual warm-up, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, because of back spasms.


'It's actually a little too soon to be honest. It's very frustrating,' said the four-time champion on Monday.


Woods aggravated his back in March's WGC-Cadillac Championship and then withdrew from the Honda Classic.


'I've had a couple weeks off getting treatment, just working on trying to get ready for Augusta,' added Woods, who won the last of his 14 major titles at the 2008 US Open.


Woods has suffered a string of injuries since 2008, missing two Opens, a US Open and a PGA Championships, but has been present for every Masters since making his debut as an amateur in 1995.


Meanwhile, it has been announced that Torrey Pines Golf Course near San Diego will host the 2021 US Open.


It will be the second time Torrey Pines has hosted the tournament after Woods defeated Rocco Mediate after a play-off to win the title in 2008.
