Tiger Woods will not take part in the 2020 Players Championship because of a back injury.

The news was relayed by Golf Digest's Dan Rapaport, with Woods' agent confirming he will not be ready for the event, which starts on Thursday:

Woods was last in action at the Genesis Invitational last month, where he finished in a disappointing 68th position; the 15-time major champion finished poorly after a strong start, eventually posting an 11 over for the tournament.
