Justin Rose has been ruled out of all golfing action for a month due to a shoulder injury.
The 33-year-old Englishman suffered from tendinitis in his right shoulder towards the end of 2013 and will miss the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the Farmers Insurance Open.
"Doctor's reports are positive, but with rest and rehab as the only means of recovery, he will be forced to delay his start to the 2014 calendar season," Rose's management company, Excel Sports, said in a statement.
Rose won the US Open last year.
