Tiger Woods’s withdrawal causes a storm
Woods’s withdrawal threw the quiet day on Riviera into turmoil. Speculation regarding his back problem made headway, before more clarification followed. McNamara, in Woods’s absence, told the press persons that the veteran golfer had been under the weather since the previous night. Gary Woodland, his playing mate, too revealed Woods tried to fight it before withdrawing. Woods was dehydrated and feeling dizzy, per the official statement.
Dehydration or not, fans feel it all happened because of the In-N-Out burger. Tiger Woods was spotted grabbing a double-double at the Genesis Invitational Pro-Am.

Woods grabbing a burger became the talk of the town after that video went viral. Fans were divided on whether he should’ve kept the pickle or not. This time, however, In-N-Out Burger, came into the limelight for all the wrong reasons.
