Tiger Woods uncertain of schedule for Masters | Golf News

Tiger Woods admits that he is still not sure of his schedule before the Masters before playing his first professional appearance in Mexico at the WGC-Mexico championship.

The 43-year-old will be heading to Chapultepec Golf Club for the third time in 2019, after finishing tied for 20th at the Farmers Insurance Open, scoring a 15th-place finish at last week's Genesis Open.

The series of tournaments after Mexico poses a number of timing issues to Woods before the first major of the year. The Honda Classic, next week, will be the first of four consecutive events in his country, Florida.

The Arnold Palmer Invitation and the Players Championship are the areas in which Woods won a total of 10 of his 80 titles on the PGA Tour, while the Valspar Championship the following week was one in which the fourteen major champions missed little victory in 2018.

"From now on, it's very complicated," Woods told the media on Wednesday. "That's what I'm trying to understand: how much to play, how much is too much, how much is too little.

"Next week is home for me, then there is a tournament that I won eight times, then another event that I won several times and then the next week is where I'm going I had another amazing week last year.

"At the end of the day, the race is sufficiently prepared for April and you have to make sure you have enough competitive rounds, which is one of the reasons I chose Tampa. [Valspar Championship] last year after missing the cup in Los Angeles [Genesis Open], to be sure to do some laps and be ready for the race.

"This year is even more complicated because I feel better, but I have four events in my state in which I live."

Woods has won the 18-time World Golf Championship title, but he has not won any major tournament since his conquest of the US Open 2008, the former world No. 1 already having a eye on the Masters.

"Augusta started [being on my radar] probably in October, November, "added Woods.Preparing last year was different and non-existent in previous years.

"This year, being able to develop a calendar and knowing what I can do to participate in this event is much more comforting than in previous years, as it's a bit unknown for this event."
