MEXICO CITY — To hear him tell it, Tiger Woods was undecided about his upcoming schedule until an hour before his first-round tee time Thursday in Mexico.
At about the time he started his pre-round warmup, he announced on Twitter that he will skip next week’s Honda Classic in his own backyard and will be in the field the two following weeks at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players.
Woods was non-committal when asked about his plans just a day prior. But after a first-round 71 at Chapultepec, he offered the following explanation for dragging his feet.
