According to the GolfChannel.com, Tiger Woods will not compete in this week’s Chevron World Challenge following his accident early Friday morning.

According to sources close to the situation, Tiger Woods will not play this week’s Chevron World Challenge in the wake of last week’s accident outside his Isleworth home.

There has been no announcement on Woods’ Web site.

For the second consecutive year the world No. 1 will not be playing the event that benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation. He missed the tournament last year while recovering from knee surgery.

It remains unclear whether doctors will allow him to travel to California from Florida later this week.

According to sources, doctors have advised him that he should not travel due to headaches and soreness.

This isn’t surprising in the least. Regardless of his physical alignments, Tiger wasn’t going to put himself in position to be surrounded by the media for a couple days just one week after his accident. It’s best for him to lay low for a while and let his situation settle in before he tries to go out in the public eye (not to mention play golf).

The media will have to wait a little longer to probe Tiger with an onslaught of questions that stand little chance to be answered.
