I’m trying to apply the moral to the TW news, but don’t get it.

Wow. The guy needs ACL surgery and had a stress fracture in his leg and still went out and won the US Open. Had to play 91 holes of golf over 5 days to do so. Unbelievable

but makes his win all the more impressive.

hopefully he’ll come back strong. And, this should shut the people up who thought he was ‘faking it’. Morons.

he played with a blown acl???

Woods said on his Web site that he originally ruptured the ACL in 2007 while running at his home in Orlando after the British Open. He said he decided not to have surgery at that point, and he went on to win five of the next six events he entered (through his Target World Challenge in December).

he simply pushed himself too much during the Open. The funny thing, is if he had put less physical pressure on himself, and had hit softer more accurate shots, he probably could have done just as well, if not better. So many times he just ripped the shit out of the ball, and would end up 5-10 yards off the fairway. Those extra 19-holes probably didn’t help at all.

I really hope he gets better, because I would hate to see his long-term career take a hit because of this. It’s going to be nasty when he comes back, it’s really tough to go that long without playing, and still do his thing. Golf is a sport of consistency. But more to my point, it would be a huge shame if his career was shortened, someone like him that has the opportunity to be something even more special than he already is, it would be a waste. Not to mention we would never hear the end of “Tiger… what could have been.”

For the record, I’ll still watch golf from weekend to weekend, but I’m into it. Especially now that a lot of the other sports I don’t care about, are over (NHL, NBA, NCAA BB).

think that commercial with his father’s voice over about how Tiger will never meet anyone as mentally tough as him was amazing? Being Father’s Day and all, it packed quite an emotional punch. And then he turned around and sank that dramatic putt on 18.

Nike can market.

would anyone like to throw out the theory that woods was faking the pain after bad shots to make himself look better again?

I told my buddy that we’ll be hearing that he’ll be getting surgery again in a few days… I cannot believe that he had the mental strength to swing the club the way he was knowing that what the pain was going to be like when he was done.

i’m sure he’s going to say he’s faking the surgery too…
