Tiger Woods visibly ill on course
— -- WINDERMERE, Fla. -- Tiger Woods began play Saturday morning at the Hero World Challenge despite being visibly ill on the driving range prior to the third round at Isleworth.
Woods was coughing on the first tee and vomited walking to the second tee box after playing the first hole. After teeing off there, he stood to the side, drenched in sweat.
A clearly uncomfortable Woods still managed his best 18-hole score of the week after finishing with a 3-under-par 69. He closed with three straight birdies and had six in all for the day.
He was running a high fever during Friday's second round and said afterward, "I wasn't feeling my best, that's for sure, but it is what it is. Just got to stay hydrated and try and keep things down."
Woods still managed to birdie the first hole.
He began the day in last place at his annual 18-player tournament that benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation after opening the tournament with rounds of 77 and 70.
He is playing for the first time since missing the cut at the PGA Championship in August after shutting it down to deal with back issues.
