For the umpteenth time, it went from bad to worse for Tiger Woods.
The 39-year-old withdrew from the 2015 Farmers Insurance Open while playing the 12th hole of his round, claiming back trouble following fog delays before the day even began.
Phil Mickelson Believes Struggling Tiger Woods Will 'Have the Last Laugh'
A frustrated Tiger had this to offer after (via USA Today): "It tightened up during the suspensions and it never loosened back up again. It just got progressively tighter. It's frustrating that it started shutting down like that. I was ready to go. I had a good warm up session. Then I got cold standing out there and everything started deactivating again."
"It's frustrating that I just can't stay active," he added. "That's just the way it is. We usually don't have to wait like this back home practicing. You can keep going and going. My glutes are shutting off and they don't activate."
Last year Woods withdrew from the Honda Classic in March and the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in August due to back pain.
As if that wasn't enough, his wallet is prepared to suffer another blow. According to the Palm Beach Post (via Fox Sports), the golfer still owes his ex-wife Elin Nordegren $54 million as part of a divorce settlement from 2010.
Per the report, Woods is in danger of losing his Jupiter Island home should he fail to pay. With an estimated net worth of $600 million, however, he should have little issue finding the money to do so.
Finding the health that once yielded 14 major championships is a different story altogether.
