Tiger Woods expects it will be "ready to go" for the US Open in mid-June, despite the injury his knee, Achilles problems of calf and back.
Woods has been using crutches and wearing a boot on his left leg protection to ensure that he will be fit.
But the young man of 35 years remains doubtful for the Memorial tournament that begins May 30 in Dublin, Ohio.
Woods said: "I believe that in the next week, I can begin to practice free pain." "This is where I am at".
To the rescue of Woods physicians did not mention the possibility of surgery of the legs farther.
"I had four surgeries on her," said Woods. "Obviously, this is not what it was when I was small."
Woods expects to launch training fitness again at the end of the week, but will not have start hitting balls again until he knows how his leg responds.
If, as expected, he is unable to play at the Memorial, Woods would go to the US Open, which will take place from 16 to 19 June, with little competition under his belt, although it has been in this situation before.
In 2008, he had arthroscopic surgery after the masters and has not played before the US Open but still won the tournament.
Doctors discovered a double fracture of fatigue in his left tibia in the weeks preceding the major but Woods has ignored their advice Woods played and won at Torrey Pines play-off a length of 19 holes.
He says that his left leg is not as bad as it was then, but Woods was forced to withdraw after only nine holes at The Players Championship this month.
It also decreased the world top ten for the first time in 14 years and is currently ranked 12th.
Woods said: "I not played." It is one of the reasons why I've fallen I. When I played, I've not played. Winning takes care of all this. ?
To speak to the press Tuesday, Woods posted on Twitter that he would give 1 m $ to its foundation if no journalist asked him on his leg.
He was interviewed on the injured but Woods tweeted later that he could give the money anyway.
