Tiger Woods withdraws from THE PLAYERS after nine holes

Tiger Woods has withdrawn from THE PLAYERS after shooting 42 on the front nine. 2011 marks the 2nd year in a row that Tiger Woods has withdrawn at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course.

Tiger was limping around the front nine, figuratively and literally. He started out with a bogey on #1, then made a triple bogey on #4 followed by bogeys on #5 and #9.

It appears that Tiger Woods has not yet recovered from the medial collateral ligament injury in the left knee, or the strained achilles tendon.

Today’s WD will surely fuel the discussion fire as to wether or not Tiger will break Jack Nicklaus’ major record. At this point, that shouldn’t even be discussed. Can Tiger win anything with the current state of his game and physical problems?
