Tiger Woods Withdraws from Tournament with Foot Injury – A sudden injury has prompted Tiger Woods to withdraw from a tournament he was scheduled to play in this weekend. Monday’s tweet from the 46-year-old golf legend announced his withdrawal from the Hero World Challenge, a benefit for his Tiger Woods Foundation. “I’ve developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot, which is making it difficult to walk,” Woods told his social media followers on Monday.
On the advice of his doctors and trainers, Woods has “decided to withdraw this week” and will instead “focus on hosting duties” during the weekend. Woods has booked two additional forthcoming appearances in which he hopes to compete. “My plan is still to compete in The Match and PNC Championship,” Woods wrote.

On December 10, Woods will join Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy on TNT’s The Match. Woods’ busy schedule remains undeterred despite his difficulties with injuries. In August, he and McIlroy announced the formation of TMRW Sports, a new company that focuses on “technology-driven ventures with innovative approaches to sports, media, and entertainment.”
In a press release, TMRW Sports defined TGL as “a new tech-infused golf league in cooperation with the PGA Tour,” with play scheduled to commence in January 2024. The league, according to the release, “will showcase team matches fusing advanced tech and live action from a custom-built venue in primetime on Monday nights” in a schedule that complements the current PGA Tour’s schedule.
“TGL is the next evolution within professional golf, and I am committed to helping lead it into the future,” Woods said in a release. “Embracing technology to create this unique environment gives us the ability to move our sport into primetime on a consistent basis alongside so many of sports’ biggest events.”
