Tiger Woods announced Wednesday he will take a leave from the PGA Tour and only return when he thinks he is "ready".
Woods made the announcement on his website after a run of poor
performance, which included shooting the worst round of his professional
career in January, an 11-over-par 82 in the second round of the Phoenix
Open.
"Right now, I need a lot of work on my game, and to still spend time
with the people that are important to me," Woods said. "My play, and
scores, are not acceptable for tournament golf. Like I've said, I enter a
tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think I'm ready,
I'll be back."
Woods wanted to compete in The Honda Classic near his hometown in
Florida in two weeks, but he added: "I won't be there unless my game is
tournament-ready."
The Masters, the first major tournament of 2015, which Woods has won four times, begins on April 9.
Woods has 14 major titles in his career.
