Tiger Woods Injury

Tiger Woods Injury, One week after Tiger Woods showed some of his old magic, he hobbled off the golf course with an old injury. Woods pounded a 321-yard tee shot on the 12th hole Sunday in the Cadillac Championship when he winced, slumping over against his driver, and the hobble became an unmistakable limp. Moments later, he shook hands with Webb Simpson and told him, “I’ve got to go in.”

He was driven off in a cart to the parking lot at Doral, walked gingerly to a black sedan and drove away.

“I felt tightness in my left Achilles warming up this morning, and it continued to get progressively worse,” Woods said in a statement. “After hitting my tee shot at 12, I decided it was necessary to withdraw. In the past, I may have tried to continue to play, but this time I decided to do what I thought was necessary.”

It’s the same Achilles that he injured last year at Augusta National, which eventually caused Woods to miss two majors last year.

The severity of this injury won’t be known until Woods has it evaluated.

NBC Sports showed Woods behind the wheel as he drove away from Doral in the black sedan.

“I didn’t really notice anything,” Simpson said. “I wasn’t paying much attention, but it looked like he made a swing on 12 that really hurt. But didn’t say a whole lot. Class act. Shook my hand. Off he went.
