ORLANDO, Fla. – The deadline came and went Friday afternoon and Tiger Woods uttered nary a word publicly.
In what might be viewed as a mild surprise, Woods was not listed among the 144-player field for next week’s Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, home of the PGA Tour.
Although Woods never said he would play the Tour’s flagship event, the expectation was that he’d compete in the tournament due its timing on the schedule – three full tournament weeks following his lone start this year at the Genesis Invitational, with three more full tournaments to recover and ramp up prior to the Masters.
