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.
Rob McNamara gives details on the Tiger Woods withdrawal. Was treated with an IV bag.

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. The 15-time Major winner threw the pickle, which prompted TaylorMade, his equipment and apparel sponsor, to tweet that Woods doesn’t like spread and pickles on his burger.
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.

Some found Woods’s withdrawal as a vindication that In-N-Out Burger is the worst burger chain. They believe the veteran would still be on the greens otherwise.
More proof @innoutburger_ is the worst burger in the history of burgers. We'd still have @TigerWoods playing today if he didn't eat that literal shit. pic.twitter.com/VKuTPT2pMj

Was Greg Norman in the kitchen when Tiger Woods visited In-N-Out Burger? This user feels the great white shark might have been undercooked deliberately.

One user recounted their own experience. They ranked In-N-Out as fairly average and felt it was over-hyped, more so after Tiger Woods was spotted there.
Had my first In-N-Out ever this week. Burger was a 6.2/10 and the fries were 2.1/10. No idea what the hype is about. It was so far below average I actually laughed.

This fan equipped perhaps Woods would think twice now before snacking on course. Hopefully, we will be able to know that at the Masters.
Oh, oh, now he has withdrawn due to illness. @TigerWoods; no more #InAndOut burgers 🍔 for you my friend!
