Some fans even suggested that Woods should withdraw from the Masters given the state of his leg:
"He should withdraw. The cold must be brutal for his leg. No shame. He is the goat."
@NUCLRGOLF He should withdraw. The cold must be brutal for his leg. No shame. He is the 🐐
"I’m condfused, but are we supposed to feel sorry for him? Like this is somehow “sad” or “painful” to watch? Isn’t this all self inflicted? Texting, speeding, crashing, too much is given to this guy from all worshippers that’s the sad part."
