It is not known how long the former world number one of 49 years, which has been hampered by a succession of fitness problems in recent years, will be absent.
Its only appearances in golf this year were in the new TGL in the room.
The five -time winner of the Masters was to play in Genesis Invitational from last month – a tournament he organized – but took time after the death of his mother.
