Woods cited "constant" pain when he decided to withdraw from the tournament before third-round play began. Woods then missed the 2023 PGA Championship as he recovered from surgery on his ankle.

Woods shared an encouraging update on his ankle in November but cautioned that the issues in his leg remain a work in progress.

"My ankle is fine. Where they fused my ankle, I have absolutely zero issue whatsoever," Woods said at the time in reference to the subtalar fusion surgery. "That pain is completely gone. It’s the other areas that have been compensated for."
