Tiger WD’s from Bay Hill

[WidespreadPanic]

Tiger just withdrew from API citing a neck strain he’s had for a few week. Hopes to be back for Players. He says his back is fine and isn’t concerned about the long term. Yikes.

 

So if he’s had it for a few weeks, why would he add Mexico? Has he actually had it for a few weeks? I was looking forward to walking a laid back Bay Hill while the frenzy followed Tiger.

Phil scared him off, damn you Phil!!!!

Sorry gator.

I think this gels with how he's played the last couple events. I noticed that his ball speed was pretty low at Riviera (low 170s at best with the driver). And then in Mexico, he was hitting irons off almost every tee and not attacking with the driver like everyone else. Probably wasn't feeling comfortable too go hard.

Sorry gator.

 

The tournament thread will not have 400 or so posts from him ;)

 

In all seriousness its a good thing hes listening to his body and doctors. Why risk it

Yes, It's no bet at this point.. but I don't see it being cancelled yet.

Maybe he'll let us nominate a new player for him to cheer for this week.

[mocokid]

lots of pressure to get top players to play in the Mexico deal, that zillionaire payed Moneyham tons of moolado to get this on the sched.

Might as well shut it down until Augusta.

[Phreddy]

He WD'd at the request of the USGA. They are tired of being the lead story.

[rattlergolfer]

Welp ... now it won't be so crowded on Sunday. My son will be able to enjoy his 1st event !!!

[SilverBullets]

And so it begins...

[coozapalooza]

It's hard not to worry that there's more to this than he's saying based off of everything like this in the past. Hopefully it's as minor as he implies and he's good to go for the Players.

[Birdie Mac]

Saw the topic and thought it was clickbait. Unfortunate. Glad he's not trying to tough it out like he did in the past.

[Rangeballz]

Oh boy.........

[airjammer]

Still not going to answer questions from the media??

[TheMoneyShot]

Save it for Augusta TW, smart move!!

[dalehead]

Any kind of physical complaint from him that involves the spine is not good.

[manku]

Well, we know there are only a couple ways you get a neck sprain, and he's already done the first!

 

[PappyVanWinkle53]

Dang, he plays great at Bay Hill. I was really looking forward to watching him make a Sunday run, and then having all those young guns sweat it out a little bit.

[Rangeballz]

Any bets on whether this "pain in the neck" will linger all season long?

May depend on what the 'bigger name' is in the Bob Kraft investigation....

[Ronnie Mundt]

That sucks.

[bscinstnct]

Neck strain for a few weeks?

 

Neck Strain. It would seem to imply a muscle injury vs his spine. Hopefully.

 

Sounds odd.

I know a massage parlor in Jupiter he can go to and get that worked on.

I believe they shut that place down while they restock the hired help...
