Woods won't play next week's Valspar Championship

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Despite success last year at Innisbrook, Tiger Woods will not make his second appearance at the Valspar Championship next week.

Following a second-round 71 at The Players, Woods remained noncommittal about whether he would play, saying: “I don’t know. Let me go have lunch first.”

But a tournament source told GolfChannel.com that Woods will not play in the event where he finished runner-up a year ago.

Playing Valspar would mean that Woods would likely play three consecutive weeks, something he does not like to do. The week after Valspar is the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, which offers guaranteed FedExCup and world-ranking points.
