Tiger Woods waves to the crowd at The Open

As The 151st Open Championship draws nearer and nearer, the world's elite are fully focused on a potential victory at one of the biggest tournaments in golf. One player that won't be present at Royal Liverpool though is Tiger Woods, with the three-time Claret Jug winner missing from the event.

It's no secret that Woods has had his injury problems in 2023, with the 15-time Major winner withdrawing from the 2023 Masters due to his plantar fasciitis injury being reaggravated in the third round.
