Tiger Woods will not play again this season after he withdrew from the PGA Championship

Tiger Woods has withdrawn from next week's PGA Championship and will not play again this season, according to agent Mark Steinberg.

Woods has not played since the Wyndham Championship 11 months ago and has had two surgeries on his back since.

His absence from the year's final major means he will have missed all four in a calendar year for the first time in his illustrious career.

"Continuing to make progress, but simply not ready for PGA," Steinberg wrote in an email to The Golf Channel.

"Will not play in the 15/16 season and will continue to rehab and work hard to then assess when he starts play for the 16/17 season."
