Tiger Woods has cancelled plans to attend his own golf tournament because of injuries he suffered in mysterious one-car crash outside his Florida home early Friday, the pro golfer said in a statement Monday.
Woods will not play or appear at this weekend’s Chevron World Challenge in California, his last scheduled competition of 2009.
“I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week,” Woods said in statement on his website Monday. “I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I’m very sorry that I can’t be there.”
Woods is a four-time winner of the tournament, which helps raise money for The Tiger Woods Foundation.
