Tiger Woods has withdrawn from The Masters due to an injury after completing seven holes of his third round at Augusta National, the organisers said on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Woods had 11 holes remaining to complete and was six over par after seven holes of his third round before play has been officially suspended due to inclement weather conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to re-aggravating my plantar fasciitis. Thank you to the fans and to @TheMasters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today," the golf great tweeted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dealing with cold and wet weather, Woods managed to finish the second round with a 74 on Saturday morning that helped him achieve a record-equalling 23rd consecutive cut in The Masters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 15-time major champion managed to make the cut by the narrowest of margins at three over par, even though he bogeyed the last two holes. However, he had a difficult beginning to his third round, which saw him falling further behind the leaders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
During the first seven holes of his third round, Woods appeared to be experiencing physical discomfort, as evidenced by his poor performance with two bogeys and two double-bogeys that left him at nine over par for the tournament and positioned him at the bottom of the leaderboard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
