After entering the final round of the Cadillac Championship eight strokes behind but hoping for at least some kind of resurgence, Tiger Woods abruptly exited the tournament on Sunday after 11 holes, signaling that—despite signs of a comeback—he isn't quite on his way back yet.

Woods has managed to impress his competition in recent weeks, offering hope that maybe, after years of personal turmoil and injuries and surgeries, he was back to legendary form. After Woods' exit on Sunday, Rory McIlroy told ESPN.com's Bob Harig:

At the time, he didn't offer much information about the injury, aside from the fact that it was in his left leg—definitely a warning sign, considering Woods' surgery on his left knee not too long ago.

Later on Sunday, Woods released the following statement, according to Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee:
