The agent of Tiger Woods has confirmed that his client will not play again this season due to ongoing pain in his back.
The 14-time Major champion has not played since last August, when he tied for 10th place at the Wyndham Championship.
The announcement means that Woods will not take part in the PGA Championship next week, marking the first time that he has missed all four Majors in a single season.
"Continuing to make progress, but simply not ready for PGA. Will not play in the '15-'16 season and will continue to rehab and work hard to then assess when he starts play for the '16-'17 season," Woods's agent Mark Steinberg told GolfChannel.
Woods, who has won the PGA Championship four times, underwent two back operations last year.
