Tiger Woods withdraws from the PGA Championship, to miss entire 2016 season

FARMINGDALE, NY - JUNE 22: Tiger Woods looks on from the 14th tee during the continuation of the final round of the 109th U.S. Open on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park on June 22, 2009 in Farmingdale, New York.

Tiger Woods officially withdrew on Tuesday from the 2016 PGA Championship. It marks the first time in his professional career that Woods will miss all four majors in a season.

“We have been in contact with Tiger’s agent, Mark Steinberg, and he informed us today that our four-time PGA Champion will be unable to join us at Baltusrol Golf Club next week for the 98th PGA Championship," the PGA of America said in a statement.

The Golf Channel reported that Woods will not play the rest of the season, receiving an email from Steinberg stating, "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."

Steinberg told Golf Digest's Brian Wacker that Woods will evaluate his situation in the fall.

The 14-time major winner hasn't played since the Wyndham Championship in August 2015 as he continues to recover from offseason back surgeries. Woods last major came in 2008 at the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, and he hasn't finished in the top 10 at a major since the 2013 Open Championship.

Harold Varner III will take Woods' spot in the PGA Championship field, which begins on July 28.

Celine Dion Gives a Tearful Interview After Her 2016 Billboard Music Awards Performance: "Music Is Extremely Therapeutic"

As Céline Dion sang, "The Show Must Go On"—and go on it did. At the 2016 Billboard Music Awards Sunday, the 48-year-old diva brought down the house with her cover of Queen 's "The Show Must Go On." Celine received a standing ovation inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and to top it off, she received the ICON Award from her 15-year-old son, René-Charles Angélil . A surprised and emotional Celine thanked her fans, family, children, and "most importantly," her late husband René Angélil , "who I know will continue to watch over me from above."

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album, Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the Channel Orange follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...
