Tiger Woods... Done for 2008
 
Apparently he's done for the golf season..

Antitrust32 06-18-2008 10:32 AM

Wow.. his injury is that bad.. That makes his victory even more historic and amazing for me.

I just hope he hasnt ruined the rest of his career. :(

More from the Associated Press:

Tiger Woods will miss the rest of the season because of a left
knee that will require more surgery, a person with knowledge of the
decision said Wednesday.
Woods had surgery to clean out cartilage April 15, but later
suffered a stress fracture while preparing for his return to golf.
That's what caused his pain during the U.S. Open, which he won in a
19-hole playoff Monday over Rocco Mediate.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the
announcement was not official. Woods was expect to discuss his
future on his web site later Wednesday.

maybe it's not true.. I tend to believe it though.

Too many rumors swell up around him. I will wait to hear from Tiger or Stienberg.

ESPN picked it up also, citing the Golf Channel

There is definitely more wrong with his knee than the torn cartilage that was taken out. I had torn cartilage taken out and felt like I could run, play golf, do anything a week later. It was a liberating procedure, I felt like a new man. Tiger was in the pain he was in 8 weeks (or so) after having that procedure.

I was with a friend of mine, who is a doctor, while watching the back 9 on Saturday. All he could say was, "there is a lot more wrong with that knee".
We talked about him holding it together to get through the British and PGA and then shutting it down for the year, but apparently that's not happening.

I have read two different unconfirmed reports, one he has a stress fracture in left leg.. and one was more specific saying the fracture is in his left knee..

pgardn 06-18-2008 11:02 AM

Bet all the EUNUCHS in the PGA are experiencing something they never do in matches when Woods is competing: HARDONS.

Way to go, 'men'.

Sometimes its not a good idea to remove cartilage since it is avascular.
