The American legend could not finish the third round, when he was far in the standings.
The Tiger could no longer roar. Tiger Woods abandoned the Augusta Masters on Sunday April 9, in the middle of the 3rd round. After having painfully passed the cut, Woods could not go further, visibly hurt. The 47-year-old golfer was way down in the standings, in what could be his last visit to Augusta in his storied career.
In the humid Georgia cold, and as the wind had knocked down three trees on the course on Friday, Tiger Woods had spent the start of the third round in pain on Saturday, grimacing and struggling to walk properly. His card had suffered, with two double bogeys and two bogeys in seven holes, before the tournament was suspended due to torrential rains on the course. Falling to last place, Woods preferred to stop the charges in the face of the “constant pain“He mentioned. He had previously marked the history of the Masters, passing the cut for the 23rd consecutive time, a historic record equaled.
Woods had warned, “I don’t know what’s still left in me“before tackling this major meeting on the calendar. Victim of a serious road accident in 2021, the five-time winner at Augusta resumed competition last year on this legendary course. But he has since struggled to find all his means, or simply those which would allow him to last the time of a major competition without suffering.
