In a statement posted on his website, Woods said the last fortnight – which included a disastrous 82 at the Phoenix Open and a mid-round withdrawal at Torrey Pines – had been "very disappointing."
Woods, who has plummeted to 62 in the world rankings, said he does not know when he will tee off again in a tournament, just the latest hiccup in a turbulent career marked by marital infidelity and mounting injuries.
But he does not know when he will tee off again in a tournament.
"My play and scores are not acceptable for tournament golf,” said Woods. Like I've said, I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think I'm ready, I'll be back."
