 Tiger
Woods spiller likevel ikke denne uken i turneringen i Napa Valley 13. - 16.
september
10.10 Tiger Woods:
Trekker seg fra PGA Touren denne
uken
Det er en enorm skuffelse for alle de som har kjøpt billett.
Det var for godt til å være sant at Tiger Woods skulle komme tilbake.
Det var mange gode grunner til at han ikke var godt nok forberedt.
Han har ikke fått trent skikkelig i det siste. Han har vært opptatt med Ryder
Cup.
Han har ikke spilt særlig mye - i hvert fall ikke golf av seriøs art.
De som har kjøpt billetter har god grunn til å føle seg snytt.
Nå blir denne turneringen just another tournament uten Tiger Woods i
startfeltet.
Dette sa Tiger: - After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know
that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA Tour or compete in Turkey. My health
is good, and I feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to
be.
Det er først og fremst nærspillet som er for svakt. Han skulle spilt i Tyrkia
senere i høst, men det blir det altså heller ingen ting av.
Neste gang han sier at han skal stille opp - hvis det noen gang skjer - tror vi
ikke før vi får se det!
Dette skriver han på sin hjemmeside:
"After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet
ready to play on the PGA TOUR or compete in Turkey. My health is good, and I
feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to be.
When I announced last week I was going to Safeway, I had every intention of
playing, or I wouldn't have committed. I spent a week with the U.S. Ryder Cup
Team, an honor and experience that inspired me even more to play. I practiced
the last several days in California, but after a lot of hours, I knew I wasn't
ready to compete against the best golfers in the world. I will continue to work
hard, and plan to play at my foundation's event, the Hero World Challenge, in
Albany.
I would like to apologize and send my regrets to Safeway, the Turkish Airlines
Open, the fans in California and Turkey and those that had hoped to watch me
compete on TV. This isn't what I wanted to happen, but I will continue to strive
to be able to play tournament golf. I'm close, and I won't stop until I get
there."
