Jason Day revealed the reason for Woods' withdrawal was due to a screw puncturing his skin

On Sunday morning, Tiger Woods withdrew from The Masters, with the 15-time Major winner "reaggravating" his plantar fasciitis foot injury. It was certainly a wise decision from the American, especially when a video surfaced of Woods visibly struggling on the 17th hole as play was suspended due to the severe weather conditions.

Speaking about the withdrawal, Jason Day, who is good friends with the five-time Green Jacket winner, stated: "He looked like he was laboring pretty hard yesterday. It was obviously difficult to watch because he had to come back out and then play through all that yesterday morning, and then he had to take a little bit of a break and come back out and play again."

It's no secret that Woods had the bad side of the draw when it came to the weather, with the 47-year-old forced to return on Saturday morning to complete his second round. He battled valiantly though and, in the process, equalled the record of consecutive cuts made at Augusta National.

Historically, Woods has always struggled with injuries throughout his career, and that led to Day to describe a story at the 2022 PGA Championship, a tournament which Woods withdrew from after once again struggling with his right leg.

Speaking on Sunday, the Australian stated: "I was talking to him at the end of last year, and then he was saying the reason why he pulled out of the PGA was a screw went through the skin on Saturday or whatever it was. I don't know how bad it is this time... it just sucks that he's not here playing."

Asked if he had reached out to Woods following his withdrawal, Day said: "At some point I will. Obviously not today. I'll give him some time. I'm sure everyone is reaching out to him right now. Like I said, you can all see how he's feeling on TV. I don't know what he's feeling internally, how bad it is."

As Woods now rests and recuperates, we will hope to see him at Oak Hill for the PGA Championship at the end of May but, first and foremost, we wish Tiger a speedy recovery!

With his T14 finish at the Wells Fargo Championship, Rickie Fowler just got himself back into a position that he hasn’t held in more than two years. 

Fowler, who shot a tournament total of 8 under at Quail Hollow, just cracked the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings. According to rankings expert “Nosferatu” on Twitter, Fowler hasn’t broken through into that cohort of players in two years and five months. 

The 34-year-old and five-time PGA Tour winner stands exactly at No. 50 in the world, a position that will have significant benefits going forward throughout the 2023 season. (He is also ranked No. 43 in the SIWGR.)

If Fowler remains in the top 60 in the OWGR two weeks before the start of the U.S. Open, he’ll be eligible to tee it up at Los Angeles Country Club on June 15. For the British Open, Fowler will be eligible if he remains in the top 50 in the OWGR by Week 21 of 2023, which is the week of May 22. The Open will be played from July 20-23. 

The Oklahoma State product will be in the PGA Championship, as he is No. 34 on the PGA Championship points list. The top 70 players on that list will be eligible to tee it up at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester on May 18. 

Fowler did not qualify for this year’s Masters, and he hasn’t been eligible to compete at Augusta National since 2020.

In September 2022, Fowler reached the worst world rank of his professional career—he sank to No. 185. Since that point, Fowler has made a steady climb up the rankings. In late January, he cracked the top 100 for the first time in over a year with a T11 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open.

In eight of his last nine starts, Fowler has finished inside the top 20. At the Zozo Championship in October, he finished T2, one shot behind the champion Keegan Bradley.

Talor Gooch—who just won back-to-back LIV events in Australia and Singapore—is opening up about a conversation he had with Tiger Woods at the Masters about LIV Golf.

Gooch recently joined the Fore the People podcast with J.J. Killeen and John Peterson, where he recounted an exchange with the 15-time major champion that occurred on the Augusta National driving range.

According to Gooch, while Woods was warming up, he seemed comfortable chatting about LIV Golf’s teams and schedule, despite his harsh public criticism of the league.

“So I have kind of a funny story,” Gooch told Killeen and Peterson. “So at Augusta, one of the mornings I was warming up, Tiger was right next to me warming up. And he was like, ‘Man, you’re with Bubba’s team now, right?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He’s like, ‘You all are going to Adelaide, right?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘Man, they got some great golf there.’”

Before LIV’s second season, Gooch transferred from Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces GC squad to Bubba Watson’s rebranded RangeGoats GC. Woods, a staunch supporter of the PGA Tour, seemed to be familiar with both the move and the league’s 14-tournament season.

In November at the Hero World Challenge, Woods’s event in the Bahamas, the five-time Masters champion expressed his continued disapproval of the Saudi-backed tour.

“They’ve spent probably close to $2 billion this year. Who’s to say they can’t spend $4 or $5 billion next year? You know, we just don’t know. It’s an endless pit of money. But that doesn’t necessarily create legacies either,” Woods said. “You want to compare yourself to (Ben) Hogan. You want to compare yourself to (Sam) Snead. You want to compare yourself to (Jack) Nicklaus. You can’t do that over there, but you can on this Tour.”
