Tiger Woods Will Still Catch Jack Nicklaus, but Shouldn’t Play the Rest of 2011

Fourteen-time major champion Tiger Woods announced Tuesday at his AT&T National press conference that he will not return to action on the PGA Tour until he is "100 percent."

Woods has been suffering from knee and Achilles injuries for much of 2011, and is apparently trying to reestablish his intimidation factor with his new beard (or he just ran out of free Gillette razors).

Woods has not ruled out the possibility of playing the The Open Championship, which begins July 14 at Royal St. George's, but will not go overseas unless he feels he can win.

"I wouldn't go over there just to show up," Woods said. "I'd g...
