Tiger Woods’ return to the PGA Tour lasted just 24 holes, withdrawing on Friday at the Genesis Invitational after hitting his tee shot at the seventh in the second round.
PGA Tour rules official Mark Dusbabek said on the telecast Woods had an illness, and it was not related to his ankle or back.
Wood was 1-over par for the round and projected just outside the cut when he asked for a cart and was driven off the course by a rules official.
Woods had not played an official event since the Masters last April, withdrawing in the middle of the third round of the rain-delayed major.
He played the unofficial Hero World Challenge in December against a 20-man field with no cut, and the 36-hole PNC Championship with his son.
Woods had said he hoped to play one tournament a month through the major season.
He had said on Thursday he was experiencing back spasms, which led to his shank on the final hole.
