Tiger Woods Withdraws from 2016 Safeway Open: Latest Comments, Reaction

Tiger Woods is reportedly withdrawing from the 2016 Safeway Open, according to Tim Rosaforte of the Golf Channel (via Ryan Lavner) and Sam Weinman of Golf Digest.

Weinman wrote Monday: "According to Woods' confidante Notah Begay III, Woods, who underwent two back surgeries last year, is physically healthy, but concerns about his short game were enough to force him to postpone a return."

"His game wasn't where he wanted it to be," Begay said on the Golf Channel, per Weinman.

The news comes just three days after Woods announced he would be playing the event, according to Adam Silverstein and Kyle Porter of CBS Sports.
