Tiger Woods on Friday announced that back spasms have forced him to withdraw from two upcoming tournaments, the Genesis Open and The Honda Classic.

If anything, that this latest setback still feels like such a disappointment reveals much more about the role Woods continues to have in the golf world. He hasn't been relevant for years now, and yet every time he returns news outlets — including this one — are quick to write about how "Tiger is back!" and speculate whether he might be able to win a tournament. And then a setback occurs and the speculation turns to whether or not he might ever compete again.

It's a predictable cycle at this point, and yet because Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods, it's hard to believe it will change anytime soon.
