Tiger Woods may miss the Open
By Posted 29th June 2011
The 2011 Open is just over two weeks away and former world number one Tiger Woods has announced that he is unsure whether or not he will be playing.
The 35 year old is currently ranked 17th in the world and has been out of action since May which caused him to miss the US Open for the first time since he started his professional career in 1995.
Woods has been suffering from a variety of injuries since returning to the sport in 2010 after a break following personal problems. He withdrew after only 9 holes at the Players’ Championship at Sawgrass on 12 May.
"I will come back when I'm 100%. I don't know when that's going to be”, Woods said at a press conference.
"It was a borderline call to play The Players. I wasn't quite 100% and I hurt myself there. There's not going to be a 50-50 call this time. I need to get my body ready where I can practice and play and apply it.”
