Tiger Woods to miss Players Championship
He says his ‘heart not into practising’
Tiger Woods is expected to miss next week’s Players Championship after saying that his “heart is really not into practising right now”.
Speaking after Tuesday’s nights TGL competition, the 49-year-old cited the death of his mother Kultida last month and his commitments with the PGA Tour policy board as he said he was not ready to compete in the near future.
“This is the third time I’ve touched a club since my mom passed, so I haven’t really gotten into it,” Woods said in comments reported by Sports Illustrated.
“My heart is really not into practising right now. I’ve had so many other things to do with the Tour and trying to do other things.
“Once I start probably feeling a little bit better and start getting into it, I’ll start looking at the schedule.”
The Players Championship will take place at the PGA’s base in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida next week.
This is the final year in which Woods is exempt for the competition on the back of his win at the 2019 Masters.
