Tiger Woods’ ongoing back problems will keep him out of action for the next two weeks.

Woods, suffering from back spasms, will not compete in the Genesis Open or The Honda Classic as he continues treatment. Hank Haney reacted to the news shortly after it broke, saying he “saw this coming.”

“This is not what I was hoping for or expecting. I am extremely disappointed to miss the Genesis Open, a tournament that benefits my foundation, and The Honda Classic, my hometown event,” Woods said in a statement.
