Woods’ career at end?

AMERICAN golfer Pat Perez believes Tiger Woods will not play again after being forced to pull out of last month’s Dubai Desert Classic with back spasms.

In what was only his third event since August 2015 after suffering from a series of back problems, the 41-yearold scored an opening 77 but was unable to take to the course for the second round.

Woods insisted he had not suffered an injury setback.

However, his withdrawal raised further speculation the 14-time Major winner, now ranked outside the top 650, could be close to the end of his career.

Perez, who has competed against Woods since they were juniors, said: “If he doesn’t play the Masters in Augusta, then it’s over.

“Personally, I don’t think you’re going to see this guy again.”
