Tiger Woods underwent ankle surgery shortly after the Masters in April and hasn’t played on the PGA Tour since. And it doesn’t sound like he’ll be back anytime soon.
According to Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated, Woods will not be in the field for the 2023 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, July 20-23.
“We have been advised that he won’t be playing at Hoylake,” said Mike Woodcock of the R&A via email to SI.
Woods is a three-time Champion Golfer of the Year: 2000 and 2005 at St Andrews and 2006 at Royal Liverpool. The 15-time major champion played in the 150th edition of the Open last year, but missed the cut at the Old Course.
