Reuters: Tiger Woods has been diagnosed with a left elbow strain that will keep him out of competition until next month’s British Open at Muirfield, the world number one said on Wednesday. Woods had been suffering minor discomfort before last week’s US Open at Merion, where he aggravated the problem and was seen wincing and

shaking his left arm on several occasions. “I was examined after I returned home from the US Open, and the doctors determined I have a left elbow strain,” the American said in a statement on his website. “I have been advised to take a few weeks off, rest and undergo treatment. I’ll be ready to go for the British Open and I’m looking forward to playing at Muirfield.”
