PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Tiger Woods arrived at TPC Sawgrass ahead of THE PLAYERS Championship on Monday afternoon, and said his health is fine.
“Everything is good,” he told Golfweek and USA TODAY. “I feel good. I needed last week off.”
Woods, the only person to win THE PLAYERS in both May and March, picked up his 80th PGA TOUR victory last season at the TOUR Championship but has been quiet so far this year. His last start came at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, where he tied for 10th. He was supposed to play in last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, but withdrew with a neck injury.
“I didn’t want to push it,” he said Monday. “No need to. Not at my age (43). Can’t do that anymore.”
