News not good for Tiger Woods fans ahead of Players

"This is the third time I've touched a club since my mom passed, so I haven't really gotten into it," Woods said in comments reported by Sports Illustrated. 

"My heart is really not into practising right now. I've had so many other things to do with the Tour and trying to do other things. 

"Once I start probably feeling a little bit better and start getting into it, I'll start looking at the schedule." 

The Players Championship will take place at the PGA's base in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida next week. This is the final year in which Woods is exempt for the competition on the back of his win at the 2019 Masters.
