Tiger pulls out of tourney to rest

[Betallsports]

[h=3]JUPITER, Florida (AP)[/h] Tiger Woods is skipping the Match Play Championship in Arizona in two weeks.


Woods announced on his website on Thursday that he wasn't planning to compete in the first World Golf Championship event of 2014. He says his plan was to attend the Sochi Olympics in Russia before his girlfriend and champion skier Lindsey Vonn got injured.


Instead, he will stay home and prepare for three tournaments in Florida. He'll next play the Honda Classic on Feb. 27 followed by title defenses at Doral and Bay Hill.


This is the first time Woods will miss the Match Play Championship when healthy and the tournament is held in America.


This means the Match Play will be without three of the top players in the world: Woods, Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott.

Amazing how the back starts acting up when you go from -5 to +5. The Team Tiger Woods spin cycle will be full rinse mode this week.

It really is amazing how that happens… anyone who thinks it is just a coincidence at this point is crazy

I've been pulling for Henley to take down the Chosen One. But he just knocked it in the water at the start of the Bear Trap.

He's never done well in match play. He used to come to LaCosta every year and get knocked out the first round.
