American golfer Tiger Woods has refused to comment on the controversy surrounding Muirfield's men-only membership policy, with it being one of the three courses on the Open rota not to allow women members.
According to The Scotsman, Woods said that he was not the one who made the policies and was not a member to be able to speak for the club.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond is among the political people, who have said they will not attend the event in protest, describing the policy as 'indefensible in the 21st century,' the report said.
