File this one under the “not very surprising” category. But for Tiger fans, still disappointing.

According to Golf Digest, not only has Tiger Woods officially withdrawn from the PGA Championship, he is also officially going to miss the rest of the 2016 season.

In an email to Golf Channel, Tiger’s agent said, “Continuing to make progress, but simply not ready for PGA. Will not play in the ’15/’16 season and will continue to rehab and work hard to then assess when he starts play for the ’16/’17 season.”

This is the first time in Tiger Woods’ career that he will miss four consecutive majors. August of this year will also mark the last time Tiger competed at all at a PGA Tour event. The last time we say him compete was at the Wyndham Championship in August of 2015.

So now that he’s officially out for 2016, the new question is, when should we expect to see him in 2017? Or are we destined to file stories like this one in perpetuity?
