Tiger Woods’ comeback ends early as he pulls out of Genesis Invitational

Tiger Woods’ comeback on the PGA Tour ended prematurely after he withdrew from the Genesis Invitational in California during his second round.

The 48-year-old is still adjusting to ankle fusion surgery after undergoing treatment following his withdrawal from the Masters in the third round in April last year and only competed again at the Hero World Challenge in December.

The fifteen-time champion, who hosts the tournament this week, finished Thursday’s opening round at the Riviera Country Club with one over par. But the American was unable to do so a day later, as he withdrew after six holes due to illness.

Woods started in good form, producing a birdie on the first, but back-to-back bogeys arrived from the fourth and he called it a day after a third par of the day on the sixth left him one up for his round.
