Speculation that Tiger Woods may make his return at this week's Match Play Championship has ended after the world No.1 was omitted from the 64-man field.
Reports had been suggesting Woods would make his long-awaited return to professional golf in Arizona, the same tournament where he made his comeback a year ago from knee surgery.
This will be only the second time Woods has missed the tournament, which has won three times, and his fellow competitors are predicting the tournament will suffer in his absence.

Many are now saying Woods will make his comeback in the WGC-CA Championship at Doral in three weeks, which is the only World Golf Championship event he has never missed.
Phil Mickelson has announced that he will skip the tournament to take a family holiday, meaning Steve Stricker will be the No.1 seed for the Dove Mountain event.
