PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the Players Championship with an apparent injury on the seventh hole of the final round.

After hitting his tee shot on No. 7 far right Sunday, Woods called over an official. He hit his second shot and grimaced in apparent pain again.

Woods then walked to the middle of the fairway to shake hands with playing partner Jason Bohn before leaving on a golf cart.

Early reports say it is a neck injury and he will not play any further.

The pain in the neck has been identified as philanderitis, with a resulting elinflammation of the neck and right rear hip.

Tiger Woods says neck has been problem since before Masters

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2010/05/tiger-woods-wont-win-will-he-keep-no-1/1

Final round of The Players: Tiger Woods began his final round of The Players Championship on Sunday at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., 10 shots out of the lead held by Lee Westwood. He opened with two pars, then bogeyed No. 3 to fall to 3 under, 11 shots back.

But, to lose his No. 1 ranking — which he has held for 258 consecutive weeks, and 598 weeks overall — Woods has to finish lower than fifth and Phil Mickelson has to win. Woods clearly will finish lower than fifth, and Mickelson will begin the final round tied for 11th, five shots back.

Only seven holes this time? He's slipping.

He’d be a lot better off if he had withdrawn after the 7th hold in his personal life.

"I have a weak back!"
"How long have you had it?"
"About a week back"

He must not be “relaxing” enough before matches. Seriousley though, despite his skill, and long before the bimbo incident, he was bringing the game of golf down with his behavior.
