Tiger Woods hopes will be "ready to go" for the US Open in mid-June despite injuries to his knee, Achilles, calf and back problems.
Woods has been using crutches and wearing a protective boot on his left leg to ensure it is appropriate.
But the age of 35 is still doubtful for the Memorial tournament which starts on May 30 in Dublin, Ohio.
Woods said: "I think that, in the next week, more or less, I can start practicing pain-free." "It's where I am."
For relief of medical Woods have not mentioned the possibility of more leg surgery.
"I have had four surgeries," Woods said. "Obviously, is not it was when I was young".
Woods hopes to begin physical training again at the end of the week, but did not start hitting balls again until that he knows how to answer his leg.
If, as expected, it is capable of playing in the Memorial, Woods would run for the US Open, held from 16 to 19 June, with little competition under his belt, although it has been in that situation before.
In 2008, he had arthroscopic surgery after the masters and he did not play again until the US Open but still won the tournament.
Doctors discovered a double fracture of his left tibia in the weeks before the big but Woods ignored his advice Woods played and won at Torrey Pines in a tiebreaker lasted 19 holes.
He says that his left leg is not nearly as bad as it was then, but Woods was forced to withdraw after only nine holes at the players championship this month.
It has also fallen in the upper part of the world 10 for the first time in 14 years and currently holds number 12.
Woods said: "not have played." It is one of the reasons that I have fallen as soon as I have. When playing, I've not played well. "Winning takes care of all that."
Before talking to the press on Tuesday, Woods posted on Twitter that donate 1 million dollars to his foundation if not reporters asked him about his leg.
Asked about the injured limb but Woods tweeted later that donate money anyway.
