Former world number one Tiger Woods has confirmed he will miss this month's Open Championship at Sandwich because of his troublesome left leg injury.
The 35-year-old has not played competitively since suffering a recurrence of the injury at the Players Championship in mid-May.
"Unfortunately, I've been advised that I should not play in the British Open," Woods said on his official website.
