Spasms force Tiger Woods to back out of news conference

Tiger Woods’ back problems have forced him to back out of a news conference

Woods withdrew from the Dubai Open on Feb. 3 due to back spasms, and they also caused him to pull out of this week's Genesis Open. A question-and-answer session with the media scheduled for Tuesday was delayed for 24 hours, and then was canceled altogether, ESPN reported. His agent, Mark Steinberg, said late Tuesday the 14-time major champion was skipping the news conference for "precautionary reasons."
