Tiger Woods will be wondering if he can ever catch a break after suffering a bizarre injury on the ninth hole at the Masters on Sunday. At five-under-par on his second shot on the ninth, Woods found himself 470 yards from the hole with the ball nestled snugly into the pine straw that surrounds the beautifully groomed fairway. However following through on his swing the four-time Masters champion drilled his club into a tree root, causing the 39-year-old to drop his club and give out a painful yell.
