Tiger Woods is injured and stays in hospital?how about his schedule and some programs with him.
Tiger Woods' absence this week from tournament that bears his name leaves his fellow competitors disappointed but has not prompted a substantial demand from fans for refunds, officials say.
Players and tournament officials said Tuesday they were disappointed that Tiger Woods would miss his charity's golf tournament in Thousand Oaks but that they respected his decision.
"Yeah, I'm disappointed not to be able to play against him," said Stewart Cink, winner of the British Open this year and one of 18 players in the Chevron World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club. And for the fans, Cink said, "with him not being here that's unfortunate for them."
But the event's ticket holders were not demanding a substantial number of refunds after Woods opted not to play this week in the wake of his car accident that sparked a global media sensation, the tournament's director said.
"It's not like our switchboard was inundated," said Greg McLaughlin, president and chief executive of the Tiger Woods Foundation, the charity that benefits from the four-day tournament that starts Thursday.
"It hasn't been an overwhelming number" of refund requests, he said. "Traditionally what will happen in these situations is it's less than 2% or 3%, not big numbers."
General admission ticket prices range from $30 to $40 per day.
