Tiger Woods has announced that he will not compete this week, stating that he is not ready to return. In a statement, Woods noted that he had prepared with the intention of playing but is still processing the recent passing of his mother.
“I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready,” Woods said. “I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my Mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.”
Woods expressed appreciation for the support he has received and indicated that he hopes to be at Torrey Pines later in the week. His potential participation remains uncertain, as no official confirmation has been provided.
Torrey Pines has been a significant venue in Woods’ career, and his possible return there would mark an important moment. However, his immediate focus remains on personal matters, and any decision to compete will likely depend on his readiness.
Woods’ statement highlights the challenges athletes face in balancing personal circumstances with professional commitments. His status for upcoming events will be monitored closely as further updates become available.
