Tiger Woods hit two spectators, including one with blood streaming from a head wound, early during his final round of the WGC – Cadillac Championship.

The defending champion teed off just three shots from the lead but sent the crowd ducking for cover with his opening drive that cleared the spectator ropes down the right side of the opening hole on the Blue Monster course.

Unfortunately a male spectator didn’t see the ball coming and it hit him right on the top of his head and with blood streaming from his wound.

Woods spoke to the spectator to ensure he was okay and as is customary these days, signed a glove for the unfortunate patron.

Tour Miss was also on the spot and spoke with the mid-30 year old gentleman who, after being attended by a Dr. Garcia, further confirmed he was ‘fine’.

The 14-time Major winner then had spectators protecting themselves after an errant shot left at the dog-leg par four, third hole.

However another male spectator didn’t see Woods’ ball coming and was hit on the side of the head but not as serious as the chap standing down the first fairway.

Woods parted with a second signed glove.

A clearly ailing Woods eventually ended with a round of 78 to share 25th place on five over par.

“I’m just glad it’s all over, it’s finally done, so that’s good,” he said.

“It’s (back pain) started on six, the second shot out of the bunker, my foot was out of the bunker.  That’s what set it off and then it was done after that”.
