THAILAND - Tiger Woods is optimistic that his game is back on track after a miserable year on and off the greens, though talk of a return to the top of the world rankings could be a little premature.
The 14-time major winner said he was excited by changes he was making to his stuttering game but regaining top spot would not come easily unless he could recapture his winning form.
"It's a process. In order to get to No 1 in the world, you have to win golf tournaments and I just didn't do that this year," Woods told reporters after his dismal defeat in a one-day charity skins match yesterday in Chonburi, east of Bangkok.
"I just didn't put it together this year, I didn't play well. I had numerous opportunities to play well and I just didn't do it."
Woods came last in the four-man contest over 18 holes, only one of which he won. Colombian Camilo Villegas finished top, followed by Briton Paul Casey. Thai Thongchai Jaidee was third.
