Augusta National Golf Club announced that Woods had exited the tournament during the third round. It was the second time in less than a year that he withdrew during a major tournament.
He finished Saturday’s weather-delayed second round at three over par for the tournament, making the Masters cut for a record-tying 23rd straight time. Brooks Koepka led at 12 under.
There was nothing easy about the first round of Woods’s 25th Masters Tournament on Thursday. He was in pain and limped, laboring up and down Augusta National’s hills.
