Tiger Woods will not be competing in the 2019-opening Sentry Tournament of Champions, according to an ESPN report.
Woods has until Friday to officially declare for the event, which is on offer to all PGA Tour winners from the previous season. He hasn’t made an official statement as to whether or not he will compete, but ESPN cited “sources” saying that he has opted to skip the event.
Woods has not played at Kapaula Resort on Maui since 2005. He has twice won the event, in 1997 and 2000.
Woods is eligible for the event thanks to his victory at the 2018 season-ending Tour Championship, his first PGA Tour victory in five years.
