PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – Tiger Woods will be around at the Genesis Open this weekend – unfortunately he won’t be playing. In his role as tournament host at Riviera Country Club, Woods will stick around in Los Angeles for his official duties and will also work on his game after a second round 5-over 76 has him well outside the projected cut line at 6 over. The 79-time PGA TOUR winner had a tough day off the tee and on the greens hitting just four of 14 fairways (one of which came after bouncing off a tree) and needing 32 putts. “I didn’t really play that well today. I missed every tee shot left and I did not putt well, didn’t feel very good on the greens and consequently never made a run,â€� he lamented afterward. After going out in 2-over 37, Woods birdied the 10th hole to put himself right around the projected cut. But then he promptly made three straight bogeys, two with three-putts, to cut short just his second full field event since back fusion surgery last April. “I didn’t feel very good when I was warming up with my putting. The greens were fast and bumpy, and I knew that,â€� Woods said. “I need to miss the golf ball below the hole … when the greens get this fast and this bumpy, anything above the hole is virtually luck if you make the putt. I kept missing it above the hole and that’s what was ticking me off.â€� It will be just his 25th career missed cut on TOUR in 330 starts once the second round is finished early Saturday. With two tournaments and six rounds of competitive golf now under his belt, Woods said he had good and bad to reflect on when addressing the bigger picture. “I’m both pleased and also not very happy with some parts of it. It’s nice to be back competing again and to be able to go out there and play, practice after each round … something I haven’t done in years … keep building,â€� he said. “(But) just the inconsistency of it. One of my hallmarks of my whole career is I’ve always hit the ball pin high with my iron shots, and I have not done that. “My wedge game is fine, but my normal iron shots that I’ve always had dialed in for much of my entire career, it’s just not there.â€� Woods also sighted the vast differences to playing golf at home versus on TOUR and said the only way to get better was to play more tournaments. He will get his next chance soon having committed to next week’s The Honda Classic near his Florida home. Playing consecutive weeks is a sure sign Woods is not worried about his back, instead saying only his feet and knees were sore – from old age. He will be joined at The Honda Classic by the 2012 champion Rory McIlroy – who saw first-hand this week how Woods played. “He’s very close, he is very close. Give him a little bit of time. He’s still figuring a few things out with equipment – sort of in between drivers – but he’s close,â€� McIlroy said. “He hits enough good shots to know that if he sort of pieces it all together, he’s going to be right there. I think everyone just has to be patient with him, especially him being patient with it and just give himself time. “It’s a good thing he’s playing next week just to get back at it.â€�
