There are two main issues for Tiger Woods as he prepares to return to competitive golf after multiple back procedures:How well will his back hold up to the rigors of practice and play? And will he be able to use his usual swing going forward, given the jarring motion involved?Fred Couples, who was dogged by back issues throughout his career, once said: I can speak for a back. A lot of things are going to feel different, and I didnt even have surgery.But while I have not examined Woods directly, I believe he should be able to have a sustained return to the sport, provided a few provisions:If he wants any chance of a sustained return, he needs to play a lighter -- albeit consistent -- schedule. If I were his doctor, Id say, Lets set realistic practice and play goals that will hold up over the long term. Create a practice schedule that is sufficiently condensed so that injury is avoided while maintaining an acceptable level of play. At this point, being the hardest worker on the course will probably lead to additional health issues and a complete absence from the PGA Tour.Keep an eye on his swing. He needs to move to a tempo that lessens, if not eliminates, his more violent acceleration from the top. Think Ernie Els- or Couples-like tempos.Continue to reinforce what he likely used to build back strength during rehab: Work diligently on flexibility and core strength. No one has better core strength than Tiger. Weightlifting exercises, meanwhile, should be avoided -- they will only create stiffness and irritability in his back.If Tiger can stick to this outline, it will increase his chances of a successful return.A look back at Tigers injuriesTiger Woods injuries have been well documented throughout his career, starting in his collegiate days at Stanford and continuing throughout his nearly 20 years on the PGA Tour:Click here for a complete outline of Woods injuries.Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Adickes, a former offense lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins, is currently a medical analyst for ESPN and ESPN.com.
