Tiger Woods’ Masters is officially over.

Woods withdrew on a cold Sunday morning due to injury prior to resuming his third round at Augusta National. He was 6 over through seven holes, on pace for his worst score at the Masters. He shot 78 twice on the weekend last year.

“I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis. Thank you to the fans and to the Masters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!” Woods said on Twitter Sunday morning.

The five-time Masters champion was seen limping badly down the 17th fairway on Saturday afternoon. He had 28 1/2 holes to complete on Sunday, where temperatures were in the low 40s at 8:30 a.m., when players were set to restart play.

Woods’ caddie Joe LaCava told the New York Post earlier this week: “He’s pretty banged up. If it wasn’t Augusta, he probably wouldn’t be playing.”
