Tiger Woods was back to playing competitive golf at the PGA Tour since his withdrawal from the Masters Tournament last year. But no sooner than he entered the field, he had to withdraw through Friday. As this news went viral, the golf community got tensed, and later a TGR executive revealed that it was due to Woods witnessing flu-like symptoms. Woods was taken to the club with a cart and given IV fluids because he was dehydrated.
Now, hours after the incident took place, Woods updated with his health on Twitter (X).
“I would like to confirm that I had to withdraw from @thegenesisinv due to illness, which we now know is influenza. I am resting and feeling better. Good luck to the players this weekend. I’m disappointed to not be there and want to thank @GenesisUSA and all the fans for the support.”
