THOUSAND OAKS, Calif: Tiger Woods still isn't talking. Now he's not playing, either.

Woods withdrew on Monday from his own golf tournament, citing injuries from a car crash near his Florida home. His decision comes as questions continue to mount regarding what exactly happened in the wee hours of the morning last Friday - questions that most certainly would have been asked of him had he played.

The world's No 1 golfer posted a statement on his website saying unspecified injuries prevented him from playing in the Chevron World Challenge. He had been scheduled to hold a press conference today for the tournament, which he hosts annually for a small, invited, field.
