Tiger Woods' poor health will further delay his return to the golf course. The American golfer withdrew from the Masters after making the cut and playing five holes in the third round.
Fans assumed that he would soon return to play in other major tournaments. However, it will take time for Tiger Woods to fully recover and compete.
According to the Golf Injury Report, Woods will not be playing at the 2023 PGA Championship due to his injuries. They shared a post on Twitter saying:
"Doesn't sound like Tiger Woods will be playing at the 2023 PGA Championship due to his injuries. He's aiming at the US Open for his PGA Tour return."
Jason Day recently revealed some alarming details about Tiger Woods' injuries. He has been in touch with the golfer and said that a screw went through his leg. These were implanted in his skin after a brutal accident in 2021 and are now hurting him and making it difficult for him to walk.
Day said in a press conference last week:
"I was talking to [Woods] at the end of last year. And then he was saying the reason why he pulled out of the PGA was a screw went through the skin on Saturday or whatever it was. I don't know how bad it is this time."
"It was obviously difficult to watch because he had to come back out and then play through all that yesterday morning, and then he had to take a little bit of a break and come back out and play again," he added.
Tiger Woods will hopefully return to the golf course at the 2023 US Open.
