Tiger Woods has reportedly made the surprising decision to skip next week's Wells Fargo Championship after his Masters win.

Woods has traditionally played the event when healthy and finished T-55 last year. He also struggled on relatively slow greens and mentioned that he putts better on faster greens several times throughout the week. "I was texting one of my good friends last night after soccer practice that I couldn't believe I won the tournament," Woods said. "It hasn't sunk in. Cause I haven't started gearing up for my next event, haven't started prepping my body, haven't started doing anything."
This shouldn't be entirely surprising, especially considering the added obligations and everything that stemmed from his thrilling Masters win. Back at the Hero World Challenge in December, Woods told everyone he was dialing it back for 2019. Woods' intense pre-major buildups are the stuff of golf legend, even if he can't be as labor-intensive as in year's past. During the GolfTV interview he described finding a key piece prior to the Masters.
An appearance at the Memorial Tournament two weeks prior to the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach still seems likely, after which there are four PGA Tour tournaments ahead of the British Open - the Travelers Championship and two new events with the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Country Club and the 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota. The John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill., is the week before the British Open. There's also the European Tour's Scottish Open on July 11-14.
