Tiger Woods won't play in the Masters for the third time in the last four years, announcing Friday night on his website that rehabilitation on his back didn't allow him enough time to prepare. He still plans to be at Augusta National, but only for dinner with past Masters champions on Tuesday night, just like last year. Woods did not know if he could play, so the club held onto his 1 p.m. Tuesday spot just in case. Woods missed the Masters for the first time in 2014 because of the first of what would be three surgeries on his back. TOP 12 AND TIES-2016 MASTERS: Lee Westwood, Paul Casey, J.B. Holmes, Matt Fitzpatrick, Soren Kjeldsen, Hideki Matsuyama, Daniel Berger, Brandt Snedeker.
