Tiger Woods Pulls Out Of The Dubai Desert Classic With An Injury But He May Have Missed The Cut Anyway
Tiger Woods pulls out of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic on Day two complaining of back pain. This tournament was billed as his return, not only to Dubai after three years but to the top of the game with the major tournaments on the horizon.
He even made a grand entrance on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab and promised much. But after a disappointing first round yesterday, he has pulled out today. This will cast a major doubt over his fitness and whether he can ever really make it back to the top of the game.
