Tiger Woods will not be making a stop at Arnie’s on his road to Magnolia Lane for his title defense in the Masters. The five-time Masters champion is still suffering from back stiffness and will not play in next week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational, choosing to pass on a tournament where he’s won a record eight times. It will be the third consecutive week Woods will not play. “Back still stiff and he’s just not quite ready,” Mark Steinberg, Woods’ agent, told Golfweek. “It’s the new normal,” Steinberg said. “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.” Tiger’s next start will probably come at The Players Championship, the PGA Tour’s flagship event he’s won twice, which begins March 12th.
