Tiger Woods insists his wrist is completely healed following his scare at the Masters and that he is ready for a busier schedule ahead of his return at the Players Championship.
The 14-time major champion has not played since ending his previous hiatus at Augusta, where he finished tied for 17th at five-under par.
Woods prompted concern by popping a bone in his wrist back into place during the Masters, but he told a pre-tournament press conference at TPC Sawgrass: "It's fine now.
"I took a full week I didn't lift at all, I completely got away from lifting and grabbing.
"I was getting treatment all the way through that period. It was more the swelling, we had to get rid of the swelling and then we could start progressing and building up strength."
"I'm going to play more tournaments period from here on out. I'm finally healthy enough, I've got my body in the shape I have it in, full practice schedule, everything's full go. Making my way up from where I'm at is just going to take consistency."
Speaking about the progress he has made in his game, Woods added: "My short game feels really good, we've made a couple little swing tweaks since then to keep improving to keep getting it better. That parts still a little bit fresh.
"I'm happy that I'm now able to create bottom [in the short game] in any spot I want, I'm able to find it and it doesn't really matter the lie I'm able to find the bottom, able to use the bounce correctly.
"I've made all the big changes, now it's just incremental changes and keep building, eventually it'll click in."
Woods is bidding to become the second man to the win the Players for a third time, but goes into the tournament following the anniversary of the death of his father and the end of his relationship with Lindsey Vonn.
"This time of year is really hard on me, this three-day window is really hard," Woods said.
"I haven't slept, these three days May third to the fifth, it's brutal on me. Obviously what happened on Sunday [with Vonn], it just adds to it."
