Fans react to Tiger Woods limping on Day 3 at the Masters 2023
Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods made his record 23rd cut at Augusta National Golf Club. Soon after making the cut, Woods was seen limping.
Videos of Woods' limping circulated on the internet. NUCLR GOLF also shared a video of Woods and wrote,
"A rough scene for 5x Masters Champion Tiger Woods. This after making his 23rd consecutive cut."
Tiger Woods' fans came out in support of him. Some fans felt it was the right time to take retirement from golf and give rest to his body. Some fans also asked him to withdraw from the tournament as they could not see him in pain. Here are some comments that came out in support of Woods,
"Warm up tomorrow, that should help. Getting a golf cart exemption at ANGC would be extremely tough to achieve. I don’t think he would even accept one. That’s a big pride hit."
"When is enough enough. He looks like he is in the worst pain ever. Like after this what will recovery take."
"wow that's painful to just watch. i feel for the guy. one of the all time greats."
"I hope he withdraws. So hard to watch him like this."
"Instead of feeling sorry for Tiger, the announcers should be celebrating his tenacity, resilience, courage, and determination. He almost lost his leg for God’s sake. Give the man a break."
"He’s tiger. He will be fine."
"So tough to see I really really hope that with some time his leg can get better."
"Tiger man you have done enough for the sport, we are happy for your retirement"
"Now that’s a horrible, horrible sight"
