Tiger Woods is skipping the Honda Classic, marking the second-straight week the 15-time major champion won’t compete. Woods also did not play in the WGC-Mexico Championship, citing back stiffness that bothered him throughout the Genesis Invitational. It is unknown what events Woods will play before the Masters Tournament in April.
Rory McIlroy isn’t sold on the Premiere Golf League. Ahead of the WGC-Mexico Championship, McIlroy revealed he has thought about the proposed golf league, but doesn’t like it. The league, in early planning stages, would rival the PGA and European Tours and boasts a season of 18 events across the globe and $10 million purses at each stop.
Our Unforgettable Person of the Week is legendary golfer Mickey Wright who died last week at the age of 85. Wright will be remembered as one of the most decorated golfers of all time, but her swing is a legend of its own.
