BAHAMAS (SNN-TV) – Tiger Woods has withdrawn from this week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
The tournament, which benefits the Woods’ charity, TGR Foundation, was supposed to be his first start since he missed the cut in the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews in July. Woods competed in just nine rounds in three majors this past season, his first starts since he was seriously injured in a car wreck outside Los Angeles in February 2021.
Woods, a 15-time major champion, will be playing in The Match at Pelican Golf Club outside Tampa on Dec. 10. He’ll team up with world No. 1 golfer Rory McIlroy in a 12-hole match against Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas under the lights. Woods is also scheduled to play with his son, Charlie, in the PNC Championship in Orlando beginning Dec. 17.
