Tiger Woods "proud" of return to form

Tiger Woods says that he wants to be better than he was before a loss of form saw him drop to number 58 in the PGA rankings.

World number two Tiger Woods has said that he is proud of his return to the top of his game following scandals and a drastic loss of form.

The 37-year-old's 281-week reign as number one came to an end in October 2010, not long after details of a string of elicit affairs emerged in the media.

He spent time out of the game to undergo rehabilitation for sex addiction, but went through a drought on his return, slipping as low as number 58 in the rankings.

Woods has gradually clawed his way back to the summit and with two titles this year - including the WGC-Cadillac Championship - some believe that he is getting back to his best.

"I don't want to become as good as I once was, I want to become better," Woods told reporters. "It's been a long process. I was hurt for a long time and at the same time had to make swing changes that were drastically different.

"I fell to 50 plus for a while and to gradually work my back is something I am very proud of. We are still getting better, things are becoming more efficient.

"The two wins this year I have built some nice leads and things are starting to come around. I just needed to get healthy and once I was able to practice properly I could implement the swing changes and I could get back there."

The 14-time Major winner can reclaim the number one spot with victory in this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational.
