TIGER Woods had a miserable final round at the World Golf
Championships in Florida,
and so did a few of his fans.
The world No.1, who suffered from back spasms all day, hit
TWO spectators on his way to a terrible round of six-over. He ended up in a tie
for 25th place.
Tiger’s first victim was a German tourist. He struck the man
in the head with his opening tee shot.

The tourist collapsed to the ground clutching his bleeding head. But he was
able to see the funny side, holding up the ball and saying, “I get this
souvenir.”CADDIE HANDS TIGER WOODS A CLUBBING
“Sorry about that,” Tiger said, before handing the man an autographed glove.
Two souvenirs! That almost makes up for all his lost blood.
The ordeal wasn’t over for Tiger and his fans, though. At the third hole, another mishit tee shot struck a spectator on the shoulder.
Again, the victim received an apology and a signed glove.
Following the nightmarish round, Tiger said he was looking forward to a week off before preparing to defend his title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which starts on March 20. He has to get over those back spasms.
“It is back spasms, so we’ve done all the protocols and it’s just a matter of keeping everything aligned so I don’t do that,” Tiger said.
“It’s the same thing. It flares up. It’s just a matter of keeping it calm and we had a quick turnaround from last week.”
