For the first time since 2017, the Players Championship won't feature Tiger Woods.
Although the event isn't one of the four majors, the Players Championship is viewed as the next most prestigious tournament in golf. Woods, who has only played in two tournaments in 2020, will miss the event due to a back injury after last playing at the Genesis Invitational in February.
However, even without Woods this is sure to be an exciting event. After winning his first Players Championship last year, Rory McIlroy will look to become the first golfer to win the tournament in back-to-back years.
