Tiger Woods officially withdrew his name from the British Open field on Friday.
The 14-time major champion has been out since August after undergoing two back surgeries last year. Woods teased fans last week by saying he might be back for the season's final two majors.

The British Open will be played at Royal Troon Golf Club in two weeks, but the the former world No. 1 will have to watch as he continues to rehab. Marcus Fraser of Australia will replace Woods in the field.
Last year, Woods struggled after coming back too soon from offseason back surgery, so it is understandable that he is hesitant to return this time around until he's fully comfortable with his swing.
