Woods’ back surgery knocks him out of Napa tournament
Tiger Woods, only one week after formally committing to next month’s Frys.com Open in Napa, offered an unexpected jolt of news Friday:
[...] he won’t play in the Frys on Oct. 15-18 at Silverado, and that’s a big disappointment to tournament officials and Bay Area fans.
Frys.com Open president Duke Butler had no advance warning that Woods’ latest health problems were serious enough to warrant surgery.
“I noticed Tiger limping a bit during the final round at Greensboro, but I did not expect the call I received this afternoon from (Woods’ agent) Mark Steinberg,” Butler said in a text message Friday.
Everyone at Fry’s and Silverado wishes Tiger good health and a return to championship form.
