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’s death.
Woods, the 15-time major champion, had committed to make his first appearance in a non-major on the US tour since he played the Genesis last February, withdrawing after one round because of illness.

In a statement issued on Monday, Woods stated that he’s not in a right frame of mind to participate at the tournament.
“I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready,” the American said in a statement posted to his 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.”
