Tiger withdraws from PGA Championship after 79

Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the PGA Championship after he shot a career-high 79 in the third round on Saturday at Southern Hills.

There is no question that Mr. E.T. Woods is the biggest television attraction in the history of golf. There is no question that he is recovering from an injury that would have meant retirement from golf for just about anyone else, but he is fighting on. There is no question that his skills are nearly where he needs them to be, but for his inability to walk the course.

Is it time for the PGA to at least offer Mr. Woods the option of riding the course, and option that is not unprecedented (Casey Martin)?

Whether he would accept that option - perhaps he could ride with the corpulent John Daly - is another question. But shouldn't it be offered?

Tiger is fighting Father Time and his severe injuries

He can still put up a great round of golf but can’t put up the four rounds he needs to win tournaments

Normally I'd be sad about a star athlete losing his touch.
Woods brought nearly all of this on himself. No tears.

He needs more rest and rehab. Saw short interview yesterday on how his swing is affected 2- 3 different ways. Don't think a cart would make him competitive. Might cut a few strokes....
