Tiger Woods took the decision out of Tom Watson’s hands.

Woods announced Wednesday evening he was removing himself from consideration for next month’s Ryder Cup so he could take time off to rehabilitate his back.

Woods said in a statement on his website he had informed Watson of the decision.

“The U.S. team and the Ryder Cup mean too much to me not to be able to give it my best,” he said. “I’ll be cheering for the U.S. team. I think we have an outstanding squad going into the matches.”
