All’s not Well for Woods

Woods was forced to withdraw from the Wells Fargo Championship, and his status for the Players Championship is in jeopardy. Woods stated that he suffered the injury during the 2011 Masters. Woods has not hit any golf balls since the Masters, leading to the decision to skip the Wells Fargo Championship.

Woods had a strong history at the Wells Fargo until last year, when he missed the cut with one of this worst performances ever. He was hoping for some redemption that could have given him a boost before the Players Championship. Woods won the Players 10 years ago, but has struggled there since. Last year, he left the tournament early due to a neck injury. With the odds of Woods missing the Players pretty high, it means there is one less chance for him to silence critics.

A lot has happened with Woods since winning the U.S. Open in 2008, his last major championship. Everyone knows about his personal issues, but injuries have been serious, as well. Woods has missed time before with knee issues, and it was widely known that he was hurting while he was winning that US Open. Given his health and personal issues, the chances of him catching Jack Nicklaus seem to be waning with each passing day. I'm not ruling out Woods getting there, but it won't be easy. If Woods misses the Players, he won't have any momentum heading to the U.S. Open. He is in need of a victory badly, and his chances seem to getting worse for one reason or another.
