Tiger Woods WITHDRAWS from The Masters after Painful Golf Legend Leaves Fans Fearing for His Health
- last year
Tiger Woods made a record-equaling 23rd consecutive cut at The Masters but was bottom of the leaderboard when play was suspended on Saturday; the five-time winner at Augusta National withdrew ahead of the third round resuming on Sunday morning.
The 15-time major winner scraped through to the weekend after making the cut by a single shot but was battered by the conditions at the start of his third round and he dropped to the bottom of the leaderboard at +9.
Cameras caught him heavily limping during the final moments of Saturday before play was suspended due to the weather conditions, and Woods has now confirmed he will not return to the course on Sunday.
'I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis,' he revealed. 'Thank you to the fans and to The Masters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!'
Woods' absence on the final day of The Masters ended his streak of completing all 72 holes of every tournament he has played at Augusta National as a professional.
The 47-year-old was set for a grueling fourth day of play in which Masters organizers are set to try and complete both the third and fourth rounds, leaving Woods with 29 holes to contend with.
