Tiger Woods expected to skip next week’s Nissan Open, where he’s never won before
After playing in Dubai last week, Tiger Woods is skipping the AT&T at Pebble Beach (as he has in the past few years), but also appears to be ready to skip next week’s Nissan Open in LA. That would make his next tournament the Accenture Match Play. (More here)
Some have questioned whether this is a strategic decision to keep the “PGA streak” alive, since Tiger’s never won the Nissan Open in the past (even though he’s played there 11 times). Said Tiger: “People can say whatever they want.That’s their opinion. They are entitled to it.”
Frankly, I don’t think there’s any “streak” as I said before. And I don’t think Tiger is the kind of guy who’s thinking about the “streak” anyways. If anything, I would think the Match Play tourney is more of a crapshoot than a stroke play event, so Tiger would have increased his chances of extending the “streak” by playing the Nissan. I think Tiger has earned the right to skip any tournament, no questions asked.
