Scratch Ernie Els from the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, where Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will return to action this week.
Els won the Honda Classic to start the Florida Swing, snapping an 0-for-47 winless streak on the PGA Tour.
“It was a difficult decision because I enjoy playing here,” Ernie wrote in his weekly diary. “But I have to be honest with myself and the fact is, I felt mentally pretty tired in Tampa.
“I want to stay fresh for the Masters, so I think a week off now is the right thing to do. I’ll stay out here in the U.S. and work on my game.”
This week’s question: Will Tiger continue his win streak?

I am looking forward to this tournament it should be a strong field. I was sorry to hear that Ernie is pulling out.
I hope that Tiger continues his streak, however I heard that the greens are not in the best of condition so it could be interesting.

Tiger is going for his 5th wim here, after that amazing streak of four wins in a row a few years ago. Since then though his best place round here is a tie for 20th, which is interesting i suppose. I’m sure he’ll do better than that this weekend.
I have a strange feeling that Vijay Singh is going to do well this week, and might be the person to push Tiger all the way. He is the reigning champ.
