(Reuters) - Former world number one Tiger Woods will not play in any professional events for the rest of the season as he continues his lengthy recovery from back surgeries, according to a report on Tuesday.
Woods, who has not competed anywhere since last August, is continuing to make progress but is not ready for competitive golf, his agent said in a report on Golf Channel's website.
"Continuing to make progress, but simply not ready for PGA," Woods's agent, Mark Steinberg, told Golf Channel. "Will not play in the '15/'16 season and will continue to rehab and work hard to then assess when he starts play for the '16/'17 season.
