SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Tiger Woods is trying to avoid something he has never done in all his years playing at Torrey Pines.
He has never left the tournament on a Friday.
Woods bailed out on Thursday the last time he played the Farmers Insurance Open in 2015 when he stopped after 11 holes because of tightness in his back. The year before that, he was forced out on a Saturday when he missed the 54-hole cut.
He has won six times on a Sunday, twice on a Monday.
In his return to the PGA Tour after a 17-month layoff to heal from two back surgeries, the objective now is simply to make the cut.
