AUGUSTA: Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the Masters because of damage after finishing seven holes of his 3rd spherical, event organizers mentioned on Sunday.
Woods, who was once the final of 54 gamers to make the reduce, was once limping down the seventeenth fairway on six over par thru seven holes when play was once known as off on Saturday because of unhealthy climate.

“Thank you to the fans and to The Masters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!”
Plantar fasciitis is tissue inflation that reasons ache within the heel.
At Augusta, he squeaked within the reduce line to tie Gary Player and Fred Couples for many consecutive instances enjoying the weekend on the Masters (23).
But in unforgiving stipulations on a chilly Saturday with heavy rain falling, Woods was once visibly limping and made back-to-back double bogeys.
The 15-time primary champion has made just one aggressive look this season and mentioned this week that he does not play many tournaments anymore as he’s “limited” in what he can do.
Last 12 months, in his 2nd get started after the crash, Woods withdrew from the PGA Championship after carding certainly one of his worst rounds at a big event — a nine-over 79.
