Tiger Woods yesterday described his schedule as "up in the air" until he sees the result of a scan on his injured neck.

Woods, who pulled out of The Players Championship on the seventh hole of his final round, visited Pennsylvania for a news conference in connection with the AT&T National tournament there on July 1-4.

The pain, he said, had started a fortnight before he ended his five-month absence from the game at The Masters a month ago. Anti-inflammatory pills have not helped.

"I'm at a point now where I just can't go any more," he said. The scan is planned on his return to Orlando.

"For me not to play all 18 holes, that was as angry and as frustrated as I've been in a long time. I can't make the movements that I made before."

If advised he can start playing again soon the world number one's next event will probably be his defence of the Memorial title in Ohio on June 3-6.

The injury also casts fresh doubts about whether Woods will make the trips across the Atlantic for July's Open Championship and October's Ryder Cup.
