“I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis,” Woods shared on Twitter.
When play was suspended for the day due to inclement weather on Saturday afternoon, Woods was in dead last among those who made the cut at 9 over for the tournament and 6 over on the round through seven holes after starting on No. 10. Making his 25th Masters appearance, the five-time winner of the green jacket made bogey on his opening hole and then went bogey-double-double on Nos. 14-16.

I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis. Thank you to the fans and to @TheMasters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!

The day before, Woods made the cut on the number to tie the tournament’s all-time record for consecutive made cuts at 23 set by Gary Player and later reached by Fred Couples.
Woods withdrew from last year’s PGA Championship on Saturday after the third round. His only other WD in a major came as an amateur in the 1995 U.S. Open when a 19-year-old Woods sprained his wrist at Shinnecock Hills in New York. An 82-time winner on the PGA Tour, Woods has withdrawn from 11 events over 372 starts.
