He is currently suffering with plantar fasciitis in his right foot and that same leg was badly hurt in a car crash over a year ago.
Woods opened up saying: “I can hit whatever shot you want, I just can’t walk.
“I’ve had a few setbacks throughout the year, that I was somehow still able to play through. But this one, I just can’t. Only time can heal this one.”
