Tiger Woods Is Not Coming Back Yet

The field for next week’s World Golf Championship is set and it does not include Tiger Woods.

Woods had until 5 PM on Friday to commit to the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and the deadline passed without a word from the world’s number one golfer.

Without Woods in the field, Steve Stricker will be the No. 1 seed in the 64-player match play event, which begins Wednesday.

Woods has won the tournament three times in his career. He made his return to golf following knee surgery at last year’s event in Arizona, winning his first match before falling to South Africa’s Tim Clark in the second round.

Woods’ appearance was not really expected, however it looks like the Woods watch is on.
