Tiger Woods Bails on Own Tournament, Chevron World Challenge

According to his official website, Mr. Woods has pulled the plug on playing in this week's Chevron World Challenge. That makes two consecutive years without the denizen due to injury, last year the knee, this year a purported face plant of some unknown type. The announcement was made as follows....

"Due to injuries sustained in a one-car accident last week, Tiger Woods will be unable to play in the 2009 Chevron World Challenge."

"I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week," Woods said. "I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I'm very sorry that I can't be there."

Rather generic, non-enlightening, borderline lawyer speak indicating that Woods is no nearer to discussing his Thanksgiving Day Escalade episode with anyone other than Mrs. Woods. Certainly well within his right to do so, but time will tell if his relentless pursuit of privacy will tarnish the "Woods brand". It's definitely not going to keep the tabs and bloggers at bay, but then again, what would have?
