Tiger Woods suffers from another blow to the players championship … despite not being in TPC Sawgrass

And then the dye is released: there will not be red on Sawgrass this weekend. No Tiger Woods and no Karl Vilips, the little known Australian who carries the flag for golf royalty.

It's only Friday, but Rory Mcilroy, Scottie Scheffler and Co are already presenting questions about the atmosphere here, and the hole left by a champion larger 15 times and his broken achilles.

After it was confirmed that this player's championships would be lost, Woods's only footprint in this event was wrapped around his protégé's shoulders, Vilips.

The Australian ranks 106 in the world. He is a rookie from PGA Tour who qualified for this event by winning the Puerto Rico Open. “Just a dream come true,” he said. It was his first Victory of PGA Tour in his third beginning as a professional.

Vilips grew idolathing Woods and last month he was appointed first ambassador of the Woods clothing brand: Sun Day Red, which bears the name of his iconic appearance of the final rounds of events.

“We were attracted to its relentless work ethics and a pioneering spirit that we embody what we represent,” Woods said. “I have no doubt that he … is one of the future stars of the game.”

The clothes were launched last year, in a dazzling ceremony near Los Angeles. Since then, however, Sun Day Red only had some exits.

Here in the players, Vilips could not reach the weekend. The 23 -year -old was a decent opportunity to make the cut after finishing his opening round even in par.

But then, on Friday, he collapsed by the classification. His first six holes in the second round included three bogeys and a double bogey.

They followed another double Bogey and another Bogey. It ended in six more than the pair after 78. At the time of writing, only one player in the whole field had shot worse.

Both Vilips and Woods had red during their university days in Stanford. On Friday, the Australian dressed in Pink since his championship campaign of players of the maiden finished early.

Instead, this week's lasting headlines were courtesy of Woods's private life.

On Thursday, Dailymail.com revealed exclusively That the legend of golf and vanessa Trump, the ex -wife of Donald JR, I've been coming out from Thanksgiving.

Vanessa is Kai Trump's mother, the teenage golf star who has already rubbed with some of the most important names of sport.

Vilips is another young prospect now linked to the greatest golfer of his time.

The 15 -time old winner contacted Vilips after his triumph in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, he could not inspire the Australian to a four -day race in the players.

On the other hand, the tastes of Xander Schauffele stayed to articulate what the absence of forests does to events like this.

“There is a reason that is called the effect of the tiger,” said Schauffele.

'Scottie, Rory and I, we are not going to throw the shoulders at the fist pumping anything, so I'm sure I would shoot a crowd a little more.

“We did not have much to punch, to be completely honest … all the boys of the group usually play a quite good golf, but nobody does better than the tiger.”
