Injured Tiger Woods withdraws at Torrey Pines

Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in California because of apparent back pain, the PGA Tour has announced. 

Woods, 39, withdrew after only 11 holes of his first round on Thursday.

The 14-time major champion was two over par when he spoke to his playing partners and walked gingerly off the North Course and into a waiting car.

His early departure comes after he shot a career-worst 82 in the second round at Phoenix last week. 

Woods was playing in only his second tournament of the season after returning from surgery on a pinched nerve, which saw him miss last year's Masters and US Open.

He appeared to hurt his back after hitting his tee shot at the 12th - his third hole of the day - but carried on for eight more holes before calling it a day. ...BBCSport
