By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press NASSAU, BAHAMAS Tiger Woods painted a bleak picture Tuesday on when he can return to golf or even get back to doing anything more than just walk- ing. Woods had two back surger- ies in a span of 18 months fol- lowed by what he described only as another "procedure" in the same area last month. He has not started rehabilitation and does not know when his back will allow for that. "The hardest part for me is there's really nothing I can look forward to, nothing I can build toward," Woods said. "It's just taking it literally just day by day and week by week and time by time." Woods is at the Hero World Challenge as the tournament host, not one of the 18 players at Albany Golf Club. The only time he touched a club was to pose for a photo, and he leaned on it while talking to Justin Rose and Zach Johnson on the put- ting green. A month away from turning 40, the smile did come as easily for Woods. He has not competed since Aug. 23 at the Wyndham Cham- pionship in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he attracted re- cord crowds in his first appear- ance and played his best golf of a bad year. He went into the fi- nal round two shots behind and tied for 10th. He didn't realize that would be his last event of the year, and last tournament for longer than he knows. "Was it a surprise? Yeah," Woods said. "Because as I was alluding to that week and sub- sequent weeks, I felt my hip was killing me and I didn't think it was coming from my back.

By Diamond Leung Bay Area News Group CHARLOTTE, N.C. Steve Kerr showed his sense of humor re- mained intact after he wasn't the one named NBA Western Confer- ence Coach of the Month. "I thought for sure I was going to get it since I get all the wins," Kerr joked Tuesday by phone. Luke Walton, who is officially 0-0 as Warriors interim coach, won the award after leading Golden State to a 19-0 record. Kerr said he didn't expect the team to be undefeated at this point, but that he knew Walton was capable in the role despite a lack of head coaching experience. "I think he had the right tem- perament," Kerr said. "He's very similar to me. "He's really made for it. Noth- ing rattles him." Said Walton: "It's nice to be playing so well and winning games, knowing that he doesn't have to stress any extra on the team and can focus on getting healthy."

TUNEIN NICK UT — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Los Angeles Dodgers' Dave Roberts smiles as he is officially introduced as the first minority manager in franchise history. By Beth Harris The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Dave Roberts was welcomed back to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday as the first minority manager in franchise history. "This is my dream job," he said during a news conference at Dodger Stadium attended by first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, for- mer manager Tom Lasorda, and Dodger greats Don Newcombe and Maury Wills. Co-owner Magic Johnson handed Roberts a No. 30 jersey that he hastily buttoned up over his blue dress shirt and blue-and- white striped tie. Roberts took his new Dodger hat and bent the brim before donning it. Roberts said he was so focused on landing the job that he didn't realize the magnitude of being the club's first minority manager. His father is black and his mother is Japanese. "There's a lot of people that paved the way for me to ulti- mately have this opportunity," he said. "That isn't taken lightly."
