Tiger Woods Done For The Season

wow, that guy is nuts.

hats off, and no doubt he'll be back to top immediately following his return... but it's not like he's ever left the top anyways.

I imagine, the rest of the tour guys are dancin' in the streets!

Did anyone see TigerCenter last night oh I mean SportsCenter? Talk about a Tiger lovefest. I thought he died at first with all the coverage.

Yeah I mean com'on. A torn ACL and a double stress fracture on top of arthro 2 months ago? That is just insane. I know golf isn't the most physically demanding sport but most guys in any major sport wouldn't walk around in normal life with that makeup. If anything this shows his level of determination and how distinctly high it is.

This is why I love the guy. I am not a normal bandwagoneer for the big sports figures but I am totally in the tank for Tiger. It isn't often that someone can reasonably say they are watching the best ever at something. Especially in sports. I hope the knee gets better and he comes back and wins all four majors next year to tie the Bear.

I'm right there with you, by far my favorite golfer.

He's like Jordan. How could you ever hate Jordan?

i wonder if we will see the same tiger when he returns? this will be the 4th operation on that left knee

It's hard to imagine that we wouldn't, because he won the US Open on a torn ACL. I can't see him getting worse with a pain-free knee. But I get what you're saying, and I'd hate to see that happen. Right now I try to catch every single Major on TV because it's frankly a privelege to watch him achieve what he's achieving.

Kinda like how a part of us would all like to go back in time to see Babe Ruth play, our great grand kids will wish they could go back in time to see Tiger. And we're getting to see it first hand.

He might have to change his swing again, though. That's my only concern. I love the guy, he's my favorite golfer, but with all the problems he's having with that knee it might be time to slow down the swing and the torque on that left knee.

It is getting a little.............deep in Tiger world.

He hasn't relied on his power in years. He's not even in the top 25 for driving distance:
ESPN - PGA Tour Statistics - Golf (http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/statistics?sort=yardsPerDrive&type=type2&season=2008)

If he can stand, he'll find a way to win.

The fact that he ruptured the ACL last July and still managed to win 10 of 13 tournies he entered, and finish no worse than 5th in the other 3 shows just how good he really is.

It begs the question...how did no doctor see or do anything about this last year?
ESPN estimated he walked over 21 miles during his win. This certainly puts that US open performance on the top of my list as the greatest golfing performances ever.
