Woods had back surgery in April, his fourth in four years. Woods said he was optimistic about his recovery last week.
"It has been just over a month since I underwent fusion surgery on my back, and it is hard to express how much better I feel," Woods wrote on his website. "It was instant nerve relief. I haven’t felt this good in years."
Woods' season came to an abrupt halt in February, when he withdrew from a tournament in Dubai after the first round.
"I expect more from myself too," said Woods of his arrest. "I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again."
