Tiger Woods is taking a little more time to reassess what went wrong during his poor finish at the Genesis Invitational.

The 44-year-old won't participate in the Honda Classic for the second straight year, according to ESPN'sBob Harig, after playing with back stiffness at the Genesis Invitational, which Woods hosted and finished in last among players who made the cut.

The 15-time major champion also opted to sit out of the WGC-Mexico Championship following the Genesis Invitational.

The Honda Classic takes place at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on a course near Woods' home.
