Tiger Woods Cancels Press Conference at Riviera Due to Bad Back
http://www.golfdigest.com/story/tige...ue-to-bad-back
One of my best friends saw Tiger on Monday. My friend was supposed to have a one hour meeting with Tiger because Tiger's golf course architecture company is in the running to do the redesign of my friend's country club. My friend said that Tiger appeared to be in a lot of pain. He was walking gingerly and could barely sit down. He ended up standing for most of the meeting. And after just 15 minutes, he said, "I'm sorry guys. My back is killing me. I have to leave." So he left after just 15 minutes.
I think it is more likely than not that Tiger's career is over. He's done everything he can do in terms of surgery, time off, physical therapy, and everything else, and his back is still as bad as ever. I don't know what else he can do at this point. It seems that his back just can't hold up to the rigours of playing professional golf.
