Intro:

Tiger Woods talks about missing the Ryder Cup because of a back injury.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Tiger Woods (says he will rehab his injured back)

"lots of rehab, in there two or three times a day. Soft tissue, my chiropractor, physios, I mean, it's a lot of work. Unfortunately rehab is no fun, it's when you get past the rehab stage and then you start being able to build and start doing more fun activities, then it becomes...training is fun. But this mundane stuff of rehab, it's brutal, it's monotonous, but it's something that we have to do to create a foundation."
"Unfortunately I've been here before. In '08 I had my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction at the time, I missed that, and it was here in the States at Valhalla. And, you know, now we're going overseas and playing and unfortunately I've been in this seat before, where I've missed it,because of injury, and it's not a lot of fun but I know we're going to put together a great team and hopefully we can go get it done."

SOUNDBITE (English): Rory McIlroy (answers question "Will it be strange not to see Tiger at Ryder Cup?)

"It will be yeah, you know, each of the two Ryder Cups that I've played he's been a part of and there's no doubt that, you know, a healthy Tiger Woods would be a great addition to the American team. But, you know, they're definitely going to miss him, but it doesn't mean that other players can't step up and take his place."
