Tiger Woods withdrew from the Players Championship after seven holes of the final round because of a neck injury.He called over an official following his tee-shot and although he hit his second, he then shook hands with partner Jason Bohn and left the course.Woods, who was playing only his third event since returning after admitting marital infidelity, was two over par for the day and two under overall."I've been playing with a bad neck for about a month," said Woods."I've been playing through it. I can't play through it any more. I'm having a hard time with the pain - there's tingling down my fingers."Setting up over the ball is fine, but once I start making the motion it's downhill from there."The world number one said he first felt the injury before last month's Masters at Augusta and now plans to have an MRI scan."They want me to go get a picture on it next week. I might have a bulging disc," he added.Woods stretched and rolled his neck between shots during the first three days at the Players' Championship but when asked after the third round whether he had any injury concerns, he replied: "No, zero. Absolutely 100%."He was tied for 45th going into the final round after scores of 70-71-71.The 34-year-old last withdrew from a tournament at the Nissan Open in 2006, when he narrowly made the cut but pulled out of the final two rounds because of flu.Source: BBC
