Golf superstar Tiger Woods has announced that he will not be taking part in this week’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines following his mother, Kultida’s death.
Kultida’s death was confirmed on February 4.
Three days later, the organisers of the Genesis Invitational announced Woods’ participation in the event at Torrey Pines.
“I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready,” Woods wrote on social media.
“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.”
Woods has not featured a PGA Tour event since last year’s Open at Royal Troon in July.
The American has not played regularly since being involved in a car accident in February 2021 and underwent more surgery on his lower back in September.
