Despite being forced to withdraw from the Genesis Invitational last week once more, Tiger Woods has no intention of quitting the professional game.
Although Woods hosted his first tournament on the PGA Tour of the season in Los Angeles, the 15-time major champion had yet another disappointing week. Six holes into the second round, Woods was forced to end his week after opening with a one-over-par 72 last Thursday.
The 82-time winner of the PGA Tour was wheeled off the course, and an ambulance was waiting for him in the tournament parking lot when he ultimately made the decision to drive away.
Since then, Woods has only made seven appearances on the Tour after being forced to withdraw three times. The legendary golfer still has no plans to end his playing career, despite the ongoing losses. Prior to last week’s tournament, he declared, “I still love competing, I love playing, I love being a part of the game of golf.”
Then, it was discovered that Woods had influenza, which caused his tournament to be stopped in its tracks. It carried on the American player’s erratic PGA schedule.
Woods stated that he intended to play one per month starting with the Genesis in 2024, prior to his withdrawal at Riviera. At the season-ending Hero World Challenge in 2023—where he finished all four rounds for just the third time in the previous two seasons—the five-time Masters champion made the promise.
