Open blow for injured Tiger

TIGER WOODS will not be at Sandwich for next week’s Open Championship — the second time he has missed the event in four years.

The former world number one, out of action since mid-May, announced yesterday that due to injuries to his left leg that have not fully healed he would not be making the trip.

“Unfortunately, I’ve been advised that I should not play in the British Open,” Woods said on his official website.
