Tiger Woods is to take an indefinite break from golf to be with his father Earl, who is suffering from cancer.
Tiger told a news conference in Wellington that he did not know when he would return to the game but said that he would play in the US Open at Winged Foot in June.
He is currently in New Zealand attending the wedding of caddy Steve Williams.
Earl Woods was diagnosed with cancer in 1998, but his condition has deteriorated dramatically this year. In March, at the Players Championship, Tiger rushed to his bedside on the Wednesday before flying back to the tournament 24 hours later.
