No decision yet from Tiger

Tiger Woods is still expected at Valhalla for the US PGA Championship despite his back injury

Tiger Woods has not yet ruled out playing in the final major of the season - this week's USPGA Championship.

His agent Mark Steinberg revealed on Monday evening that the American could wait until Wednesday before deciding on his participation.

The former world No 1 was forced to pull out midway through Sunday's final round at the Bridgestone invitational after injuring his back.

The USPGA Championship starts in Kentucky on Thursday - but as it stands Woods is scheduled to play despite his breakdown at the weekend.

And Steinberg confirmed no decision has been made.

"Way too early. He has to rest and get treatment and then assess later," he said. "Pointless to make that decision now without proper time to give him best chance. Nothing further today, maybe (not) even tomorrow (Tuesday)."

Woods was scheduled to have a press conference at 2.30pm UK time on Tuesday but that has been cancelled.

Sky Sports News correspondent James Haddock, reporting form Valhalla, said: "His caddie Joe LaCava has been on the course, walking all 18 holes doing his prep should his boss decide that he is fit enough to turn up here.

"His courtesy car is still here outside the clubhouse but there is huge question mark over this back injury. He is still officially entered for this week's event, he has not contacted the US PGA. 

The 38-year-old Woods underwent back surgery in March, ruling him out of action until the Congressional on June 26.

He missed the cut by four shots in that event but reported no problems with his back after playing all four rounds of the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool last month. 

Watch all four days of the US PGA live - with or without Tiger Woods - on Sky Sports from 6.00pm this Thursday

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
