Tiger’s agent: Woods’ wrist ‘fine’ after Masters injury

Tiger Woods is feeling “fine” just days after he injured his wrist in the final round of the Masters.

Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg told ESPN.com that the 14-time major champion is healing well after Woods hit a tree root with his approach shot from the pine straw off the fairway at the par-4 ninth at Augusta National.

It’s unclear if Woods had a medical professional look evaluate the injury. Woods was clearly in pain immediately after hitting the shot, as well for several holes after the stinger. Following the round, Woods told CBS that a bone in his hand or wrist popped out of place and he had to pop it back in to continue playing.

Woods also said after the Masters that he wouldn’t compete again “for a while.” He won’t be eligible for the WGC-Cadillac Match Play Championship, which is limited to the top 64 players in the Official World Golf Ranking as of Monday. Woods is 101st in the world.

Woods is expected to compete in The Players Championship the following week. He’s the 2013 champion there. If he keeps a typical schedule leading into an expected U.S. Open appearance in June, Woods will then play the Memorial in Ohio as his final tournament before heading to Chambers Bay .
