PONTE VEDRA BEACH FL – Tiger Woods has withdrawn from The Players Championship after nine holes and 42 strokes. Apparently his legs seem to be more of the problem than the scandals that have plagued him from the past.
Woods called Thursday withdrawal as “just a whole chain reaction”. Woods said, “The more rest I get, the better it would be, obviously. It’s a big event. I wanted to come back for it and play, and unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish.”
The Huffington Post writes:
Woods already has had four surgeries on his left knee dating back to his freshman year at Stanford in 1994, ruptured the Achilles tendon in his right leg, and then strained the same one in his left.
To paraphrase: He was a billion-dollar talent undone by dime-store legs.
After lagging behind his playing partners for much of the front nine, then walking gingerly off the course, Woods said, “The more rest I get, the better it would be, obviously. It’s a big event. I wanted to come back for it and play, and unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish.”
A lone setback or two, as we noted, would be easy to shrug off. But this looks ominously like the beginning of a pattern.
It’s not just that Woods has been treated or operated on a half-dozen times in the last three years, or that he withdrew on the seventh hole of the final round at the same, hilly TPC Sawgrass course a year ago because of a neck problem.
