Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
I made the comment to my father that if he was in the pain which it seemed he was in that he could be done for the rest of the year or for a good portion of the year. I hope he has a full recovery and this is not the start of his hard golf swing taking its toll on his body. If the later is the case I think he is good enough to adjust his swing.

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
I'd rather watch him play for another 10-15 years than watch him destroy himself this year. Good call.

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
It just goes to show you how amazing he is. He played with a subpar knee and still won on one of the grandest stages. Amazing.

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
A ruptured ACL and two stress fractures and he still won 5 of the 7 tournaments he played in this year. Amazing. I'm sure he'll have the best orthopedic surgeons on earth fix that knee properly. Knowing Tiger's work ethic, he'll meticulously rehab and have another amazing season next year.

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
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.
On the flipside, this will give some other golfers a chance to show their stuff while everyone still has Tiger's 5 round US Open win fresh in their minds.

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.

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
They said they knew about the tear 11 months ago and I think the question is why did they operate on the knee and not repair the tear at the same time? I think what he did was great but he also said he only really felt pain after his swing and not when he was walking. I like Tiger but I just get tired of the media hype around him. I'm sure we are going to hear ton's about Tiger even though he is not playing and this week it going to be nothing but Tiger while this weeks match is played. It will even be worse when they play the next two majors of the year and who ever wins there will be that question what if Tiger was playing.

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
Wow, did not know that...if they KNEW, they should have done something about it. But I guess that's just me.

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
Greatest athlete of all time, any sport?
Gotta get those 19 majors, but this is the kind of thing that makes you think he belongs in that discussion.

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
He was playing on a torn ACL and double stress fracture. Ridiculous.
Tiger won US Open with torn ligament, 2 fractures - Yahoo! News

Re: Tiger Woods Done For The Season
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. |

Re: 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. |
