The 35-year-old announced last week that he was pulling out of this week's British Open as he continues to recover from knee and Achilles injuries, and the unknown nature of this latest address sparked speculation across the web that he would be taking an extended break from the game.
There was even some suggestion that he may retire, although Woods only said last week, "I think my best years are still ahead of me and I'm very confident and optimistic about the future."
Woods has been out of action since the middle of May after pulling out of the Players Championship with a mild medial collateral ligament sprain to his left knee and a mild strain to his left Achilles tendon, suffered while hitting a shot from under a tree at the Masters in April.
The three-time British Open champion said last week that he would be more careful and take his time in coming back this year so as to fully get over his injuries.
