Why didn't Tiger play Quail Hollow? Wasn't ready for the grind
0:001:44FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – Tiger Woods wasn’t ready to play the Wells Fargo Championship. That’s the simplest answer.
On Tuesday at the PGA Championship, Woods was asked about his decision to take four weeks off since winning the Masters, essentially skipping the Wells Fargo Championship in a move that prompted some to question if there was any cause for health concern.
“I wanted to play at Quail Hollow, but to be honest with you, I wasn't ready yet to start the grind of practicing and preparing and logging all those hours again,” Woods said. “I was lifting, my numbers were good. I was feeling good in the gym, but I wasn't mentally prepared to log in the hours.”
