Tiger Woods says he is “disappointed” that he will miss next month’s Hero World Challenge in Albany, the Bahamas.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 15-time major winner hosts the tournament – an unofficial event featuring 20 of the world’s top players – and was widely-expected to take an exemption spot in the competition which starts on 5 December.<\/p>\n

The American, 48, did not cite a reason for his absence but has kept a limited competitive schedule for years because of numerous injuries.<\/p>\n

Woods has not competed since he missed the halfway cut at The Open in July before undergoing back surgery in September.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I am disappointed that I will not be able to compete this year, but always look forward to being tournament host,” Woods wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Woods returned after eight months out injured<\/a> to play the tournament last year, finishing 18th. <\/p>\n

He added the three exemption spots at this year’s competition will be filled by Americans Justin Thomas and Nick Dunlap, as well as Australian Jason Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
