LOS ANGELES – Tiger Woods isn’t the only big name skipping next week’s WGC-Mexico Championship.
World No. 2 Brooks Koepka isn’t making the trip to Mexico City, either. Same with sixth-ranked Patrick Cantlay and 10th-ranked Justin Rose. Rickie Fowler, Jason Day and Henrik Stenson are also opting for a week off rather than a limited-field, no-cut tournament that offers guaranteed world ranking, FedExCup and Olympic points.
Woods didn’t offer any explanation why he won’t tee it up in the first WGC event of 2020, a place where he tied for 10th last year but finished 13 shots off the lead.
