Woods Not Sharp Enough For Memorial Tournament
Wednesday 28 May 2008 at 09:10
 Tiger Woods has explained why he will not be at this week's Memorial Tournament at Muirfield.
Speaking at Congressional Country Club yesterday, the world number one said his main goal is getting ready in time for the US Open and suggested he was not willing to risk playing when he is yet to fully recover from his knee injury.
"Going to Memorial that rusty, it wouldn't have made any sense," he remarked. "I wasn't sharp enough."
Woods, who won the PGA Tour competition every year from 1999 to 2001, would have been a clear favourite for the event this year had he taken part.
Instead Phil Mickelson is the bookmakers pick, with punters able to get odds of 7/1 on the world number two winning with Stan James.
Sergio Garcia, hot off his win at The Players Championship earlier this month, is the second favourite with VC Bet offering 18/1.
WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship runner-up Stewart Cink is next in the betting at 20/1 with Stan James, followed by 22/1 Geoff Ogilvy.
Last year's winner KJ Choi is 40/1 to do the double with Coral.
