Tiger Woods was supposed to sit and answer questions Wednesday about the murky future of his golf career.

That has been deemed too physically demanding.

After a scheduled press conference at Riviera in Los Angeles initially was pushed back from Tuesday to Wednesday, it was called off altogether — on doctors’ orders, apparently. “Sitting upright” and “speaking into a microphone” qualify as activities.

Woods pulled out of this week’s Genesis Open and next week’s Honda Classic — part of an ambitious late-winter comeback schedule he had devised — after being afflicted at a recent tournament in Dubai by what agent Mark Steinberg labeled as back spasms.

The Woods camp insisted it was unrelated to the nerve condition that demanded three different back surgeries and forced Woods into a roughly 15-month layoff from competitive golf. The Masters is seven weeks away.

It’s now unknown when Woods will be seen or heard from again, leaving a world of golf watchers to wonder: If he’s too broken down to sit for 10 minutes in front of the cameras, what hope does he have of seriously competing again?
