Woods was in the middle of the third round. The withdrawal ends his streak of completing all 72 holes of every tournament he has played at Augusta National as a professional.

The tournament announced about 90 minutes before play on Sunday that Woods had withdrawn. The legendary golfer is still feeling the effects from the 2021 Los Angeles car crash that nearly had doctors amputate his leg.

Woods made the cut even as he battled the injury, cold and rain. He extended his Masters streak to 23 straight cuts when he finished 3-over par. He is tied with Fred Couples and Gary Players.

When he started the third round, Woods didn’t start out too great. He had a bogey on the 10th hole and added another on No. 14. He then had back-to-back double bogeys after finding the water on Nos. 15 and 16.
