Tiger Woods’ status unclear for Doral

DORAL, Fla. — There was no definitive word out of Tiger Woods’ camp on Tuesday whether he will play the WGC-Cadillac Championship this week at Doral, just days after he withdrew from the final round of the Honda Classic with lower back spasms.

Woods, who was not at Doral, was scheduled to speak to reporters on Tuesday, but that was postponed until Wednesday and is still on.

“I hope he’s feeling better and he plays; he told me he was going to play,’’ course owner Donald Trump told The Post Tuesday.

“I think he’ll be here this week,’’ Jason Day said of Woods. “I think he probably rested Sunday. He’s probably getting some work done Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.’’

When informed Woods has not seen the renovated Blue Monster, Day said, “Well, it’s going to be a bit of a shock to him I think because it’s just such a different look. But I mean, he is Tiger Woods … the guy has 14 majors and 79 wins.

“I think he just needs to rest and make sure that his back is OK for this week. I know that he’s had some past [back] experiences, especially going back to Barclays [in August at Liberty National]. He’s had back troubles, knee troubles. The guy is not 20 anymore. He’s, what, 37 or 38, something like that? Yeah, he’s getting older and when you get older, things hurt a little bit more.

“I think he just needs to take it easy. It’s going to be tough to tell if he’s going to beat Jack [Nicklaus’ record of 18 majors], but right now, he’s still got a lot of years. I think the biggest thing for him is just to stay healthy. It’s tough. I mean, the guy, he doesn’t play as much as most people, but he’s not — like I said before, he’s not 20. It seems like he’s having a lot more injuries these days than he has ever.’’
