Tiger Woods career missed cuts and withdrawals

Tiger Woods has rarely missed the cut in his pro career, and he has even more rarely withdrawn from a golf tournament. However, as he has aged, the number of Tiger Woods missed cuts and withdrawals has accelerated.

In the first 322 starts of Woods' pro career, he withdrew four times, including back-to-back years at The Players Championship. In the 50 starts beginning with the 2014 Honda Classic, Woods has withdrawn seven times, citing lower back spasms four times.

In those same 50 starts, Woods has missed the cut 13 times, missing the cut only nine times in his pro career from 1997-2013.

In total, Tiger Woods has missed 22 cuts in his PGA Tour career and withdrawn from another 12 events.
