Tiger Woods, once a colossus in the final round, looks to have lost his edge when it matters the most. Coming into the final round of the 2013 Honda Classic, Woods sat at even par. He finished at four over after shooting 74 over the final 18 holes. The back nine in particular was poor from Woods, as he recorded three bogeys and a double-bogey.

Instead, he has moved the return date up one week, to the Chilean Open (h/t ESPN, via The Associated Press).
