Tiger Woods Limping Video Emerges Amidst Masters Withdrawal

By Brian Jones - April 11, 2023 04:25 pm EDT

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.

From Braylon Edwards

This disrespect to @TigerWoods is pathetic. The only reason the majority of you watch golf is because of Tiger. PGA and networks love to use Tiger for bringing in the ratings whether he’s Winning or limping. I don’t mind you annoyed with the coverage of him but F the disrespect .

One fan replied: "I enjoy playing golf. Sometimes I watch, sometimes I don't. But if Tiger is playing, I watch every shot. I can't help it. Forever the [GOAT]."

Still Injured

Definitely the walk of a man with plantar faceitis. My husband suffers from this plainful foot condition. I hope Tiger can rest up and stay off his feet for a bit. I would hate to have this be the last image if him leaving a majors. https://t.co/NZNrcxAyqh

And this person asked: "What is he trying to prove? What's the point? Gary Player is in better shape. He should record a WD on his card and move on with his life."
