Tiger Woods Not Playing at Accenture World Match Play. They Dropped Him- is This Why He is Dropping Out on Them?

Tiger Woods has decided not to play in the Accenture World Match Play Championship as previously planned. Accenture was one of the sponsors that dropped Woods during the media frenzy of the all the "Tiger Woods Affairs". Now they will not have Tiger playing in their tournament. Is this an "eye for an eye" move on Tiger's part, or is he just not ready yet?

The golf world was excited to finally see Tiger Woods come out of hiding since his "accident" on Thanksgiving Evening. We are going to have to wait for the next possibilities on the tour which is the WGC-CA Championship in Miami on March 11-14 or two weeks after that - the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando.

Tiger may decide to make his return in his own backyard in the private Tavistock Cup match on March 22-23. It is played on his home course Isleworth in Florida.

Accenture World Match Play will not only be missing Tiger, but Phil Mickelson as well. Phil Mickelson announced last week that he will not be playing. Phil's wife and his mother were both diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Michelson said he would be spending that week with his family.

Tiger Woods who is now 34 years old has dazzled the golf circuit with his skills and talent since he was a teen. He is the world's number one golfer and his absents has been a big financial loss to the golf world.
He spent a month in a rehab for sex addiction and is trying to repair his marriage. Is this the reason he decided to stay out of the Accenture tournament, or is it that he was not good enough for them so he feels the same about their tournament?

Tiger reportedly has had surgery to repair broken bones in his face and nose and also has had his front teeth replaced. These reports came out shortly after the story about his wife beating him with a golf club broke out a few months ago. No one has seen Tiger's face since then.

Accenture Match Play would have been watched by more than just the golf fans if Tiger had played in the tournament as earlier reported. The world would have tuned in to see what Tiger looked like today after the entire ordeal.

Tiger Woods is sure to return to the world of golf, he would be doing himself and the golf world a disservice if he did not. His talent and skills have never been matched as of yet. Tiger Woods is a big piece of why we as a nation are so interested in the game of golf.
