Tiger Woods to skip the Players Championship as the Masters nears
Tiger Woods won't be at The Players Championship next week at TPC Sawgrass
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods is not in the field for The Players Championship next week, opening questions about whether or where the five-time Masters champion will play before Augusta National.
The Players already is missing a bevy of big names from those who joined LIV Golf. Now it's missing the biggest draw in golf.
There was not an immediate reason why Woods chose not to play at the TPC Sawgrass, where he has won twice. He was not listed in the field that the PGA Tour released Friday. Even though injuries have severely limited his schedule, he would be eligible from his five-year exemption from winning the 2019 Masters.
For Woods, his road to the Masters could be the Seminole Pro-Member last week in Florida. He played 18 holes with PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh. Otherwise, his only competition this year was 24 holes at the Genesis Invitational, where Woods withdrew after six holes in the second round at Riviera with the flu.
