"I had a therapist, a physical therapist that recommended him."

Things are definitely back to normal as Tiger gives boring answers to mostly cautious questions at Quail Hollow. However, there were a few awkward moments that certainly don't recall any past press gatherings.

Q. Just as an unrelated follow, you've mentioned getting back to normalcy in your schedule and that things are up in the air a little bit. Why are they up in the air? It seems like at least this week and next week you've kind of returned to places that you normally would go. What's different about --

TIGER WOODS: Personal things.

Okay, moving right along...

Q. I just wanted to follow up a question at the Masters you were asked about Dr. Galea and why you decided to see him, and you said he seems to be the go-to guy, a lot of other athletes have seen him. I'm curious, who was the first person to specifically recommend Dr. Galea?

TIGER WOODS: I had a therapist, a physical therapist that recommended him.

Q. Can you say who that was?

TIGER WOODS: No.

Well, now that we don't have that settled...at least someone asked.

Q. Were there any others or just him?

TIGER WOODS: A few others. A lot of guys have worked with him, a lot of athletes have worked with him. Look at the list of athletes he's worked with, it's a who's-who.

As I explained earlier at the Masters, the same thing with Dr. Whitten with your eyes, with my eyes. One of the reasons why I went to see him is because he's worked with so many athletes and had just a tremendous amount of success, and Dr. Galea was the same.

He's had success alright, which is the point.

Q. Leading up to the Masters, you used the term you didn't have the luxury to play rounds. It seemed to us that you could have played Bay Hill, Tavistock but chose not to. Was there any outside influence that didn't allow you to play in those events? Did the TOUR step in? There's been players that have been suspended for conduct detrimental --

TIGER WOODS: No, nothing like that. I just wasn't ready. I just started practicing a few weeks prior to Bay Hill. I wasn't anywhere near being ready to compete at this level.

Just like Jack says sometimes, it wasn't ready for public consumption.

And this was mildly interesting...

Q. You had to get back on the road to play golf, but the road is also where temptation lies. Was there any trepidation on your part to get back on the road because of that possible temptation?

TIGER WOODS: No, not at all, not after what I've been through and the treatment and all my peers.
