Tiger Woods withdraws from PGA Championship after shooting 79 in third round - ESPN

Andy North discusses Tiger Woods withdrawing from the PGA Championship after Round 3.

After carding a 9-over 79 in the third round, Woods told a pool reporter at Southern Hills Country Club that he was going to assess whether to return to the course and play the final 18 holes on Sunday.

"Tiger Woods has informed us that he is withdrawing from the 2022 PGA Championship," PGA of America president Jim Richerson said.

After making five consecutive bogeys in a major for only the second time (along with the first round of the 1996 U.S. Open), Woods made his only birdie of the round with a 37-foot putt on the par-4 15th.

It is the first time Woods has withdrawn from a major championship as a professional.

It is the first time he has withdrawn from a PGA Tour event since he exited after shooting 75 in the opening round of the 2019 Northern Trust.
