Tiger Woods has pulled out of the Chevron World Challenge golf tournament this week due to the injuries sustained early Friday morning.

"I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week," Woods said in a statement on his website. "I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I'm very sorry that I can't be there."

"We support Tiger's decision and are confident the strong field and excellent course will provide an exciting week of competition at the Chevron World Challenge," said Greg McLaughlin, Tiger Woods Foundation President & CEO.

Tiger had been set to host and play the tourney in Thousand Oaks, California this week, which would have been his last game of 2009. Tiger has said he won't be returning to the game until next year.
