Tiger: "This three-day window is really hard. I haven't slept."

Stephen Hennessey with the primary takeaways from Tiger's pre-Players Championship press conference post-break-up with Lindsey Vonn, post-Augusta National chiropractic adjustment and post-passing of his father Earl.

On his current well-being in light of the news:

"Obviously it does affect me. It is tough, there's no doubt. I'm not going to lie about that. It is tough. And on top of that, this time of year is really, really hard on me. This three-day window is really hard. I haven't slept. It's been -- these three days, May 3rd and through the 5th, today, is just brutal on me, and then obviously with what happened on Sunday, it just adds to it."

Also, his medical explanation for the adjustment he made at Augusta to pop the bone back into place:

"I don't know how. It was one of those things where I had it like that and I pushed down on it -- it's just like anything, you crack your back or your neck and it's relief. Before, it was like, man, it's stuck. That's what my wrist felt like, it was stuck, and the wrist wasn't moving, and I could feel it getting tighter and tighter and tighter, so it's like a self-adjustment on your spine. I just did it on my wrist."

As for his golf, Jason Sobel of ESPN.com says the 9-hole practice round wasn't pretty.

Woods looked rusty in his early-morning practice round, enduring a two-way miss that led to a few lost balls.

This will be the first Players Woods has entered on his past-champion status.
