Woods to skip season opener
TIGER Woods will miss the PGA Tour season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship in Hawaii next week.
Woods, who went skiing with his family in Colorado last week, said he did not have time to get his game ready, and he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Woods, who has won six consecutive PGA Tour tournaments, announced on his website that he had spent the past 12 days relaxing with family and friends “but I’ve basically been away from golf since winning the Target World Challenge” on December 17.
“I considered playing in next week’s Mercedes-Benz Championship, the official launch of the new FedExCup, but I just haven’t been able to prepare,” Woods said.
“I usually spend at least one week working on my game before a tournament, and have been unable to do that this year.”
