Tiger Woods still has no idea if he will be able to play
in next month's Masters at Augusta.
Woods, who held on to his place as world No 1 when Adam
Scott failed to win at Bay Hill on Sunday, has been struggling with a back
injury.
He stopped playing during his final round at the Honda
Classic on March 2 with what he described as back spasms and the problem flared
up again at Doral, especially in his closing round 78.
Woods had to withdraw from last week's Arnold Palmer
Invitational - a tournament he has won on eight occasions - when further
treatment failed to improve his condition in time.
The Masters is the only major Woods has never missed in
his professional career, and that is causing him further frustration.
"For Augusta, it's actually still a little too soon,
to be honest with you," Woods said at a press conference to announce that
Quicken Loans is the new title sponsor of his tournament at Congressional in
June.
"That's kind of the frustrating thing about this.
"I've had a couple weeks off and getting treatment
and just working on trying to get ready for Augusta.
"As of right now, it's still too soon, which is, as
I said, pretty frustrating."
