Woods said he would not play the British Open next week because his injuries have not fully healed.

“Unfortunately, I’ve been advised that I should not play in the British Open,” Woods said. “As I stated at the AT&T National, I am only going to come back when I’m 100 percent ready. I do not want to risk further injury. It will be the second time in the last four years that Woods has missed two majors in one season. He did not play the British Open and PGA Championship in 2008 while recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left knee. Woods said last week it was a mistake to go to The Players, and that if he had waited, he would be playing golf right now.
