Tiger Woods's status for this week's WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral, Florida, remained uncertain on Tuesday as the reigning champion continued to receive treatment for a sore back.
He cancelled his pre-tournament news conference and practice round on Tuesday.
Woods, who has been paired with Masters champion Adam Scott and FedExCup winner Henrik Stenson for the opening two rounds, withdrew from Sunday's final round of the Honda Classic after 13 holes due to back spasms.
Woods, whose career tally of 14 majors is second to Jack Nicklaus, said in a statement after the Honda Classic that he would decide later if he could defend his WGC-Cadillac title.
If Woods is unfit to play it would be a big setback ahead of the April 10-13 Masters at Augusta National, the year's first major. It would also give world No. 2 Scott a chance to bump Woods from the top of the world rankings with a win at Doral.
In 13 career starts at the WGC-Cadillac championship, Woods has seven wins, the last four on the famed Blue Monster course which underwent a massive redesign following last year's win.
