For a second straight year, Tiger Woods won’t finish a major he started in.
After miraculously making the cut at the 2023 Masters, he struggled on a rainy Saturday, getting him to 9-over for the tournament. Videos captured by fans that circulated on social media appeared to show Woods wincing in pain or moving slowly at certain moments while playing in the major, and on Sunday morning, he withdrew from Augusta, citing injury.
After he did the same for the 2022 PGA Championship, golf fans were worried on Sunday about the legendary golfer and his health. Here’s a sampling of the reaction from Twitter:
Due to injury, @TigerWoods has officially withdrawn from the Masters Tournament after completing seven holes of his third round. #themasters

Awful to hear for Tiger, at all places Augusta.
Those miserable conditions, slippery footing and the disrupted schedule would’ve wreaked extra havoc on his ankle, amongst everything else.
Here’s hoping we get to see the big cat again, striping it at the Masters. https://t.co/lqCIMgFddD

Not a surprise given the way he was limping yesterday. Always sad to watch a great athlete not be able to play as they’d like due their body. Should savour these last days of Tiger Woods #themasters https://t.co/WyvS5Cu85p

Tiger Woods withdraws from #TheMasters – witnessing him battle was tough but incredible to see him break the record for most consecutive cuts made. He’s the GOAT, the best we’ve seen – he has nothing left to prove. I do hope though, this isn’t the end. pic.twitter.com/77u9iJLO74
