“I don’t know how bad it is at this point … It’s a shame he’s not playing here.”

“I’m hurt. I know that’s true,” Woods said at the time.

But it was far worse than Woods let on.

Woods has been dealing with a sore right leg that will require surgery after a horrific car accident in February 2021, and there was one noticeable bruise from Woods that was spotted last week at Augusta National Golf Club.

On Saturday, Woods was clearly in pain when he teed off on the 17th hole while trying to finish the second round. Day noted that he saw Woods “working very hard” at the time, so it was no surprise that he backed off.

“It was hard to watch because he had to come back out and play yesterday morning and then he had to take some time off and come back and play again.”

“Thank you to the fans and @TheMasters for all the love and support,” Woods wrote on Twitter after he retired.

It’s unclear when Woods will return to the golf course, especially after having to leave this week. If the trend continues, Woods will try to play in the majors, so the PGA Championship will be next on the schedule.
