Former world number one Tiger Woods withdrew from this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational on Monday after failing to shake off a neck strain.

In a post on Twitter, Woods said the problem was unrelated to the lower back issues which sidelined him for nearly two years and added he had no concern over his long-term fitness.

"Unfortunately due to a neck strain that I've had for a few weeks, I'm forced to withdraw from the API (Arnold Palmer Invitational," Woods said.

"I've been receiving treatment, but it hasn't improved enough to play. My lower back is fine, and I have no long-term concerns."
"Its connection to Arnold makes it one of my favorite tournaments and I'm disappointed to miss it."
