Houston, we have a problem!
Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.
Woods, who just finished T10 at the WGC-Mexico Championship before taking a week off and skipping the Honda Classic, is now going to miss two events in a row heading into the Players Championship.
Woods made the announcement on Twitter:
1) Unfortunately due to a neck strain that I’ve had for a few weeks, I'm forced to withdraw from the API. I’ve been receiving treatment, but it hasn't improved enough to play. My lower back is fine, and I have no long-term concerns, and I hope to be ready for The Players.

2) I'd like to send my regrets to the Palmer family and the Orlando fans. Its connection to Arnold makes it one of my favorite tournaments and I'm disappointed to miss it.

Hopefully, this injury isn’t something that’s going to hinder his performance and can heal rather quickly with some rest because we’ve got the Players, Valspar, WGC-Match Play, and Valero left before Augusta!
