ORLANDO, Fla. – Tiger Woods withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Monday because of a “neck strain.”
In a tweet sent at 2:23 p.m. ET, Woods said, “Unfortunately due to a neck strain that I’ve had for a few weeks, I'm forced to withdraw from the API. I’ve been receiving treatment, but it hasn't improved enough to play.”
Woods went on to explain that his lower back, which he had fusion surgery on in April 2018, is “fine” and that he doesn’t have any “long-term concerns.”
