The news comes as not all that shocking...having watched Tiger Woods battle incredible pain with every shot last weekend winning over Rocco Mediate after a grueling 91 holes of professional golf—on a very tough course!
If the additional damage he did ends up costing him more than the rest of 2008, then one has to ask was it worth the win. I know from a spectator’s perspective it was definitely worth watching!
Right now, at age 33 years old, Woods stands at fourteen Majors, and sixty-five wins on the PGA Tour. Only a total loss-of-use of his legs will likely prevent him from surpassing Jack Nicklaus's eighteen Major’s, and eventually Sam Sneed at Eighty Two PGA wins.
It is sad that we won’t have Tiger to watch the rest of this season, including the Ryder Cup (maybe Rocco Mediate could stand in for him).
While nobody on the PGA Tour, nor fans of the game, wish to see Tiger hurt, I am sure there is a renewed sense of competition between all professional touring players. A BIG obstacle is out of the way for the remainder of the 2008 golf season.
For those who missed what some have called the greatest US Open, the Golf Channel will replay a two-hour condensed version tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
Rest up for next year Tiger…Your work is not finished yet.
