Tiger Woods said he wasn’t in pain when he withdrew from the Dubai Desert Classic.
Apparently his back spasms were hiding something more serious as he announced on Friday that he will not play in either the coming week’s Genesis Open in Los Angeles or the Honda Classic at PGA National, a short trip from his ultra-exclusive Jupiter Island compound.
“My doctors have advised me not to play the next two weeks,” is what Woods had to say.
You could see this one coming. In the first round in Dubai, he walked stiffly and his swing had nothing fluid about it, prompting Brandel Chamblee of the Golf Channel to described Woods as: “The oldest 41-year-old in the game of golf.”
Woods went on to say that he will continue to undergo treatment and hopefully his “back will calm down.”
What you have in the world of Tiger Woods now, is a lot more uncertainty.
A lot.
