Woods unable to say when he will play again

NEW YORK: World No 1 Tiger Woods does not know when he will be able to play again after doctors built a new knee ligament for him using tendon taken from his right hamstring.

The 32-year-old American won this month's US Open after a playoff against Rocco Mediate before announcing that he needed reconstructive surgery on his left knee and would take the rest of the year off.

He told a teleconference on Monday he was not sure when he would make his comeback.
