Woods finished tied-45th in his first official appearance since The Open at St Andrews last July.

It was the first time Woods completed 72 holes since the 2022 Masters.

With golf's former world No.1 making a comeback at the Riviera Country Club in February, many hoped that he would feature at the Players Championship on March 9.

When will Tiger Woods next play on the PGA Tour?

With the Masters just around the corner, Woods may have taken the decision to not feature at the Players and prioritise the Masters, which starts April 6.

The five-time Green Jacket winner will be hoping to build on last year's 47th-place finish at Augusta.

Last year's Masters was Woods' first official PGA Tour event since the 2020 Masters.

He was sidelined after suffering multiple leg injuries in a car crash in California.

Woods was out of competitive action for 17 months.
