Tiger Woods withdrew from the 2023 Masters Tournament on Sunday during the third round due to not being able to walk. And now a video has surfaced of him noticeably limping at the 17th hole on Saturday. Weather in Augusta, Georgia played a role in Woods’ limping as there were cold temperatures and rain on Friday and Saturday. Woods injured his leg in a car accident in February 2021 and still deals with the aftermath of the crash.
Woods wasn’t in a position to win his sixth Masters this past weekend but made the cut for the 23rd consecutive year. “I’ve always loved this golf course, and I love playing this event,” Woods said on Saturday after finishing his second round and not being whether he would make the cut, per CBS Sports. “Obviously, I’ve missed a couple [Masters] with some injuries, but I’ve always wanted to play here. I’ve loved it. I hope I get a chance to play this weekend. I’m sorry. I got a chance to play on the weekend. I wish I get a chance to play two more rounds.” Here’s a look at fans reacting to Woods limping during the Masters.
