Rob McNamara, his friend and executive VP at TGR, said in an official statement that Woods had a fever since the previous night. But fans clearly feel it’s his snack that has to take the blame. 

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. 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. 

Fans pile on In-N-Out

Tiger Woods’s exit caused quite a stir among netizens. Fans doubled down on the In-N-Out Burger behind the mishap.

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.

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.

 This fan equipped perhaps Woods would think twice now before snacking on course. Hopefully, we will be able to know that at the Masters. 

Tiger Woods’s withdrawal was followed by Justin Thomas missing the cut. Surprisingly, Jordan Spieth was disqualified after a scorecard mistake as well.
