Tiger Woods finished a dreadful round on Saturday at the PGA Championship uncertain about whether or not he would play on Sunday. It didn’t take long for him to come to a decision.
The PGA Championship announced on Saturday that Woods withdrew from the tournament and will not play in the final round on Sunday.
“Tiger Woods has withdrawn after Round 3 from the 2022 PGA Championship,” their statement read.
This decision is not surprising, as Woods was clearly dealing with pain in his surgically-repaired right leg throughout most of the tournament. This was just the second tournament that the 15-time major champion had played in following a car crash last year that almost forced him to have his leg amputated.
Woods made the cut after Friday’s round, but shot a 79 on Saturday in less-than-ideal weather conditions to play himself out of contention. He began the day at 3-over par, and finished at 12-over par.
Mito Pereira leads the field by three shots at nine-under par heading into Sunday.
