Tiger Woods's last tournament

Tiger Woods' decision to withdraw was made owing to an injury, as he is still coping with the aftereffects of a vehicle accident in 2021. The accident had put his right leg in jeopardy, and despite his efforts to participate, the injury worsened as the weather conditions worsened during the event.
Woods had been visibly limping during practice rounds earlier in the week and throughout the first and second rounds.
