Is Tiger Woods suffering from fatigue? This would suggest so...

Tiger Woods has shocked many of us with his resurgence on Tour this season, but his comments in recent weeks would suggest the former world number one is suffering from burnout as his season draws to a close.

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.

Woods, who last week said he wished he'd copied Rory McIlroy and bypassed The Northern Trust two weeks ago, has decided to skip this week's BMW Championship Pro-Am.

According to reports, this is the first time in Woods' illustrious career that he has asked out of a pro-am tournament.

Now in the midst of a fifth tournament in a six-week stretch, Woods is playing the most golf at once since his last full season on Tour in 2013.

Woods lies 25th in the FedEx Cup standings heading into this week's third FedEx Cup Playoffs event, but still requires a solid finish if he's to make the top-30 spots in the season-ending Tour Championship in two weeks' time.

Is Tiger Woods suffering from fatigue? This would suggest so...

Woods told the media last month:

I’m 42 now, and I've had four back surgeries. So things are going to be different from day-to-day, and it’s just about managing it. I didn’t really have any of those issues early in my career because I didn’t have a fixed point in my back. My knee used to hurt a lot, but I could play around that. Playing around my spine’s a little bit different.

While PGA Tour pros are expected to take part in the Pro-Am tournaments, they can choosen to opt-out of them twice a year in exchange for participating in another sponsor-related activity.

Woods declined to speak to the media after finishing tied 24th at the Dell Technologies Championship on Sunday, and he is not listed among the players scheduled for pre-tournament press conferences ahead of the BMW Championship.

The 14-time major champion was named as one of Jim Furyk's wildcard picks on Tuesday evening, to which he did say a few words there.
