ORLANDO, FL (WTVB) – The strongest field of the year at The Players Championship will be without the biggest draw in golf. Tiger Woods isn’t playing. Woods will miss The Players Championship for the first time when not recovering from any of his nine surgeries. His agent, Mark Steinberg at Excel Sports Management, said in a text, ”Back just not ready. Not long term concern.”
Woods has played only two times this year, a tie for ninth at Torrey Pines and last place at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera, where he serves as tournament host.
