Tiger Woods is set to miss all four majors for the second successive year after opting not to submit an entry for the British Open.
All eligible players had a deadline to inform the R&A whether they would be attending Royal Birkdale in July and when that passed last week Woods' name was not among the entries, the Press Association understands.
His absence is no real surprise after the 50-year-old – who has not played competitively since the 2024 Open at Troon due to injury and medical procedures – announced he was taking a break from the sport to seek treatment after being charged with driving under the influence following a car crash near his Florida home in March.
The 15-time major winner is not exempt for next month's US Open but has a lifetime exemption for the Masters and can play in the Open Championship until he is 60.
