Tiger Woods expected to play WGC-Cadillac Championship

Woods expected to play Doral

Tiger Woods's manager has revealed that the world number one is likely to feature at this week's WGC-Cadillac Championship in Florida following a back problem.

Woods was forced to pull out of last week's Honda Classic after suffering the injury with five holes left to play.

Despite concerns over the 38-year-old's fitness, Mark Steinberg insists that he is able to defend his title at the TPC Blue Monster course.

"He wouldn't be coming down here if he didn't intend to compete at the highest level," Steinberg told ESPN. "He intends to play and wants to play well."

Woods has won the WGC-Cadillac Championship four times.
