It’s not the news most golf fans wanted but it’s probably not surprising.
On Monday afternoon, Tiger Woods announced on social media that he will not compete in the upcoming Hero World Challenge, his annual bash in the Bahamas.
“I am disappointed that I will not be able to compete this year at the Hero World Challenge, but always look forward to being tournament host,” he wrote.
He also broke some other news. It was about a month ago that the initial field list was released with 17 names. Tiger’s update Monday said that the last three spots will go to new dad Justin Thomas, Jason Day and Nick Dunlap.
I am disappointed that I will not be able to compete this year at the Hero World Challenge, but always look forward to being tournament host and spending the week with @HeroMotoCorp. Excited to welcome our exemptions @JustinThomas34, @JDayGolf and @NickDunlap62 into the field.
