Tiger Woods has announced he will not play at this week’s Genesis Invitational, the tournament he hosts.
Woods’ mother Kultida passed away last week at the age of 78, with the former world No 1 expressing his “heartfelt sadness” when announcing the news on social media.
On Monday, Woods, who had been set to make his first PGA Tour appearance of the year at Torrey Pines, said in a statement on X: “I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready.
“I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.
“Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my mom’s passing.”
