Tiger Woods' indefinite break from golf will continue next week.
The former world number one will not be competing in the next PGA Tour event at Palm Beach, Florida.
Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, informed tournament officials of Woods’ decision on Thursday.
"He doesn't look at this with any time deadline right now," Steinberg told ESPN.
"Does he expect to be at the Masters? Yes, of course. But that doesn't mean that is where he expects to debut. He just doesn't know where. I think Tiger would tell you he'd be shocked if he wasn't at the Masters."
"He's working at it. When that time comes, he's going to do some things in practice to replicate whatever he can under the gun and then put it in play."
Woods has played just 47 ½ holes this year and announced he would be taking time out to work on his game following a run of injuries and poor form. However, he had left open to possibility he would appear at the Honda Classic, where he is a regular competitor.
"My play, and scores, are not acceptable for tournament golf," Woods said in a statement last week.
“I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level and when I think I'm ready, I'll be back. ... I am committed to getting back to the pinnacle of my game."
