Tiger Woods will not play in next week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, a tournament he has won eight times, most recently in 2013. Mark Steinberg, longtime agent for Woods, 44, confirmed to ESPN’s Bob Harig that Woods “is not going to play. Back still stiff and just not quite ready.” Steinberg also told USA Today’s Steve DiMeglio that Woods skipping an event in which he’s enjoyed so much success is “the new normal. Things are week to week. He’s very much good to go when he’s healthy, and he’s not when he’s a little sore.â€� Woods remains in search of his 83rd PGA TOUR win, which would move him out of a tie with Sam Snead for the all-time wins record. He is coming off a 68th-place finish at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera, and a T9 at the Farmers Insurance Open before that. His most recent win was the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP last fall, which tied Snead with 82 TOUR wins. He then went undefeated as playing captain at the Presidents Cup at the end of last year to lead his U.S. Team to victory. Prior to Friday’s news, several golf observers speculated that Woods’ historic 83rd victory could come at Bay Hill, where among his many accomplishments he won four straight times from 2000-03. He finished T5 there in 2018, and last season did not play. He would later capture not just the ZOZO Championship but also The Masters Tournament for his 15th major. Woods is a two-time winner of THE PLAYERS Championship (2001, 2013), which begins in two weeks. He is currently 25th in the FedExCup and 10th in the world.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Brooks Koepka didn’t seem concerned with missing the cut in his hometown event at The Honda Classic. The penal nature of PGA National’s Champion course was the culprit, he said. Koepka hit four shots into the water over two rounds and racked up three double bogeys and a triple. He signed for consecutive 74s to finish well outside the cut line. “I struck it really well. Really pleased with how I’m hitting it,â€� said Koepka, who made just one birdie Friday. “I just haven’t putted well, and every time I have missed (a shot), … I just end up in the worst place possible. It is very easy out here to turn a decent round into what can be a little bit of a disaster.â€� RELATED: Leaderboard This was Koepka’s fourth start of the season. He’s completed 72 holes just once, a T43 at The Genesis Invitational. The Honda Classic is the first of five consecutive starts for the four-time major champion. Koepka lost more than four strokes on the greens this week and lost nearly two strokes with his approach play. He said his putting struggles started at the end of last year, leading him to change putter grips. “It feels great, and I struck it really well on the putting green, but then it’s another thing when the gun goes off,â€� Koepka said. “I think every golfer kind of knows that, and you can feel a little bit different.â€�
