Golf superstar Tiger Woods withdrew in the second round of the Genesis Invitational because of illness in the latest setback for the 15-time major champion.
The US PGA Tour said Woods pulled out after hitting his tee shot at the seventh hole because of illness, with no immediate word on the nature or severity of the trouble.
Woods buried his face in his hands as he was ferried from the course in a golf cart, his first official PGA Tour event since he withdrew from the rain-delayed third round of the Masters last April.
Two weeks later Woods had ankle surgery to address lingering pain in his right foot from injuries suffered in a 2021 car crash.
Woods has played only nine official events in the last four seasons. He has missed the cut twice and withdrawn three times.
