Tiger Woods backs out of his Safeway Open committment

With Tiger Woods having been on the sidelines for over 14 months, his announcement that he would be targeting a return at the Safeway Open had the golfing world in a tail-spin. However, after signing up to play in the tournament just days before, his withdrawal from the tournament citing vulnerability of his game had everyone perplexed.

It led to all sorts of questions rising up with some asking if he was truly over and whether he had the drive and hunger to win again. He did put an end to those questions by saying that he was working his hardest to get back to his best and followed up with a return at his own event in the Bahamas, the Hero World Challenge.

However, his decision to withdraw left a lot of fans in the cold and many who had purchased Safeway Open tickets just to watch Tiger were left dissappointed.
