Tiger Woods Has Been a Ghost During the 2014 PGA Tour Season

We are now 15 events into the PGA Tour’s 2013/2014 wraparound schedule, and Tiger Woods has played a mere three rounds of golf.

Since the FedEx Cup concluded last September, Woods has played just 15 competitive rounds of golf worldwide, and that includes four rounds at his own 18-man Northwestern Mutual World Challenge cash grab event.

That is an average of around one competitive tournament round per week for Woods over the past five months.

Woods has become the PGA Tour’s version of a snow leopard, often referred to as "ghost cats." We all know that these "ghost cats" exist, but very few have actually seen them in their natural habitat.

This week’s WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship will mark the second consecutive World Golf Championship that Woods has skipped for reasons other than injury or scheduling conflicts, as far as we know (a.k.a., he simply couldn't be bothered gassing up the jet and making the trip out West).

Woods’ schedule is set to pick up a bit over the next six weeks where he will likely attend three events leading up to the Masters, but that is still an incredibly small amount of golf for Woods to play in preparation for the first major of the season.

If Woods were to make the cut in his next three events, he will have played only 27 competitive rounds of golf between the Tour Championship last September and the 2014 Masters in April. Of those 27 rounds, just 15 would have come at legitimate PGA Tour events.

Ten years ago, Woods could disappear for months at a time and show up at a PGA Tour event and completely dominate the field as if he had never left.

But those were the days when practice was a form of religion for Woods.

His 14-hour days of beating golf balls in the sweltering Florida heat became the stuff of legend during the late 90s and early 2000s.

That no longer seems to be the case.
