New York, Feb 3 (IBNS): Golf icon Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the Omega Dubai Desert Classic at Emirates Golf Club due to back spasms.

He made the move  about an hour before his scheduled second-round tee time Friday.

The 41-year-old Woods, who has undergone three back surgeries in recent years, said the discomfort began after dinner Thursday night following his first-round, 5-over 77, read the official webiste of the golf icon.

Agent Mark Steinberg was quoted as saying by the website: "He just can't get the back spasms to calm down. He feels terrible for the tournament."
