Tiger Woods reveals troubles ahead of Players Championship

Tiger Woods admits that his preparations for The Players Championship have been affected by a lack of sleep.

Tiger Woods has revealed that a lack of sleep has affected his preparations for The Players Championship.

The former world number one will play for the first time since The Masters when he returns from his latest injury setback at Sawgrass, but a difficult week has caused problems.

Woods announced the end of his relationship with Lindsey Vonn on Sunday, which also marked the nine-year anniversary of his father's death.

"Obviously, it does affect me," Woods told reporters. "It's tough. There's no doubt. I'm not going to lie about that, and on top of that, this time of the year is really, really hard on me.

"I haven't slept. These three days, May 3 and through May 5, is just brutal on me, and then with obviously what happened on Sunday, it just adds to it."

Woods tied for 17th place at Augusta after spending two months away from the Tour looking to improve his game.
