An Ankle injury forced Tiger Woods to withdraw from World Championship Golf event in Florida halfway through his final round.
Woods, grimacing after hitting his tee shot on the 12th hole, left the tournament just a day after telling reporters that his injury-plagued body “feels great.”
The American golf star’s participation in the opening major of 2012, April’s Masters at Augusta, is now in doubt.
Justin Rose said after his one-shot victory for his first World Golf Championship, "That's not good news,". "Hopefully, (he's) holding himself back for the Masters and doesn't want do any more damage."
Woods has had four surgeries on his left knee dating to when he was at Stanford. The most significant was in June 2008, when he had reconstructive surgery to repair ligaments just a week after winning the U.S. Open for his 14th major. Woods has not won a major since then, and he has missed four majors because of injuries.
Woods attracted the largest galleries of the week, even starting the final round eight shots out of the lead. When he left, so did most of the crowd.
"It was a bit weird," Simpson said. "It went from one extreme to the other, from playing with all the people to playing with no people. I wasn't playing too good, so I didn't really care."
