Tiger Woods has withdrawn from The Northern Trust ahead of his scheduled second round start time of 12:33 p.m. ET due to what his team is calling a mild oblique strain. It is the 10th withdrawal of his career and first since the 2017 Omega Dubai Desert Classic.
"I went for treatment early Friday morning, but unfortunately I'm still unable to compete," Woods said in a statement released Friday morning. "I'd like to thank the New Jersey and New York fans for their support and remain hopeful I can compete next week at the BMW Championship."
Woods fired a 4-over par 75 on Thursday -- 13 shots off the lead -- and appeared to be well on his way to missing the weekend cut for a second consecutive event just weeks after missing the cut at The Open Championship.
