Woods, who has struggled mightily in his much-anticipated comeback this year following back surgery, said on his website he will be unable to compete in next week's Genesis Open in California and the following week's Honda Classic in Florida.
"My doctors have advised me not to play the next two weeks, to continue my treatment and to let my back calm down," said Woods. "This is not what I was hoping for or expecting."
Woods's possible playing schedule will be determined at a later date after his back is reassessed, according to his website.
