Tiger Done For '15/'16, Next Start In '16/'17

Ryan Lavner at GolfChannel.com with the report and email confirmation from Steiny.

In an email to GolfChannel.com, Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, said: "Continuing to make progress, but simply not ready for PGA. 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."

Unless he's had a setback, this is great news for those hoping Woods would take the year off to get well and to clear his head. Hopefully.

On another note, it's amazing to think that getting golf in the Olympics and some of the structure was developed in consultation with Woods and Mickelson. Neither is going and while one is still in top form, the other isn't even playing. Let that be a lesson to all of the players skipping this year and presuming they'll be able to go in four years.
