Tiger Woods to Miss the Arnold Palmer Invitational

Tiger Woods's return to the golf course will have to wait at least one more week.

On Friday Woods’s agent Mark Steinberg confirmed that the 15-time major champion will not play in next week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational. Woods has won the event at Bay Hill a record eight times over his career but has chosen not to play the event for a second consecutive year. He missed last year’s tournament due to a neck strain.

It appears that Woods’s surgically repaired back, which he described as “stiff” after finishing 68th at the Genesis Invitational, is still not right.
