It was seen in the bulletin on a Friday morning that Tiger woods withdrawn from the Dubai Classic after hitting a second-round ball. The reason behind was his back spasm after shooting for an opening round 77 the day earlier. The incident marked another frustrating start of his return to golf from his lengthy injury layoff, and the future is already uncertain for him.
According to Wood's manager Mark Steinberg, Woods had back contraction on Thursday night right after they had dinner. The manager also added that he has able to gone through treatments the early morning but still didn't worked. He added that it was not the nerves but the muscles and he cannot get it calm down. He still can move around but he cannot make full rotation in his swing, USA Today reported.
It can be recalled that Woods made a return after his multiple back surgeries from a 16-month layoff. He was expected to play four to five times a week starting from Farmers Insurance Open last week at the Torrey Pines but he missed the cut. Further, the European tour without prior reason announces that Woods withdrew from the game after he began his second round in Dubai.
It was also last week when he returned to San Diego and only lasted for two days. He also missed a 12-foot birdie putt on his final hole on the North Course at Torrey Pines which is the first time to happen in his career. According to the Guardian, since 2010, he already pulled out seven tournaments due to his back issue. In his 322 starts as professional, he already had four withdrawals from it.
Furthermore, a glance at Woods during his first round of 77 would give a hint that he's in trouble. His movement was not smooth, and technically, the 14-times major winner was not consistent with his moves.
