TULSA, Okla. – Tiger Woods withdrew from the PGA Championship on Saturday, the PGA of America announced.
Woods didn’t speak to the media after a third-round 79 at Southern Hills in which he appeared to be in significant discomfort because of his right-leg injuries. He told a pool reporter that he and his team would “do some work and see how it goes.”
The announcement about his withdrawal came at about 7:30 p.m., ET, following the conclusion of the third round. It’s the first time in his pro career that Woods has withdrawn from a major.
Woods was tied for last place, at 12 over par.
