Tiger Woods to Skip Houston Open, Prepare for Masters at Home

Tiger Woods will not play in the Houston Open in early November, according to Golf Digest's Daniel Rapaport.

The tournament is set to begin Nov. 5. Woods will spend the coming weeks at home as he prepares for The Masters, according to Rapaport. Play at Augusta National is set to begin on Nov. 12.

Woods claimed his fifth Masters—and first major since 2008—in April 2019 when he finished one stroke ahead of Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Xander Schauffele. He enters the 2020 Masters eyeing his 16th career major.

The 2020 Masters was postponed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
