Woods withdraws from Buick Open
12 April 2012
Tiger Woods has told Buick Open officials he will not play in their tournament next week.
His wife, Elin, gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter Sam Alexis on Monday, less than 24 hours after Woods tied for second place in the US Open.
"Tiger will spend time with his wife and newborn daughter next week," said Buick golf marketing manager Larry Peck in a statement. "We respect and support his decision. We are very happy for him and his family."
