Tiger Woods officially announced he will be skipping the 2020 Players Championship.
Woods cited his back as the issue. It will be the first time since 2017 he won’t be in the field at the PGA Tour’s flagship event. He has played just twice in 2020, the last time being Riviera back in mid-February which wasn’t great.
It was not an easy decision, but I will not be attending @THEPLAYERSChamp. I have to listen to my body and properly rest when needed. My back is simply just not ready for play next week. I’m sad to miss one of the best events of the season, OUR Championship.

If there was any question whether or not the Players Championship was a major, the answer is settled: It is not the fifth major. It never was. Otherwise, Tiger would be playing. Plain and simple. It’s a great tournament played on a great course with a huge purse and a lot of tour prestige, but it’s not a major.
The man’s world revolves around majors and if there is any doubt his back isn’t 100%, there is no reason to push it. Woods’ mantra has always been to peak for the majors. Augusta National is at the top of that list.
Sure, it would be great to see Big Cat week in and week it contending, but the fact is this is the reality we live in It just goes to show you that we should never take the 2019 Masters or any time he tees it in competition for granted again.
