“Won’t see him till the Masters” – Fans react to Tiger Woods missing The Players Championship after promising an event per month.
“Won’t see him till the Masters” – Fans react to Tiger Woods missing The Players Championship after promising an event per month
Fans on social media have reacted to Tiger Woods’ absence from The Players Championship next week. The PGA Tour event will take place from March 14 to 17 at the Players Stadium Course.
Woods had been optimistic about competing in at least one event per month in 2024. However, he is currently dealing with health issues, leading to his withdrawal from The Genesis Invitational last month.
Despite participating in the Seminole Pro-member tournament last week, Woods struggled with his game and finished in a tie for 44th place. He missed this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational, giving fans hope that he might return to compete at next week’s Players Championship.
However, their hopes were dashed as it was revealed that Woods failed to meet the 5 pm deadline to enter the field for The Players Championship.
Nuclr Golf shared this unfortunate news on its X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption saying:
“JUST IN: Tiger Woods is NOT in the field for #THEPLAYERS next week. @TWlegion.”
Fans jumped into the comments section to predict that Woods may not return to the tournament until The Masters. One fan commented:
“Won’t see him till the masters.”
“Tiger should not return to golf unless he injects titanium into his body. Too many letdowns at this point,” commented another fan.
“No worries. Just preparing for the masters,” wrote another fan.
