The View from Sports Center: Tiger is Out

June 18, 2008

Tiger is Out

Tiger is out for the rest of this season.

According to his web site, he will undergo reconstructive surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament and then go through rehab for it as well as a double stress fracture of the tibia. The stress fractures were discovered just before the Memorial tournament last month. "The stress fractures were attributed to Woods' intense rehabilitation and preparations for the 2008 U.S. Open." The arthroscopic surgery he had roughly six weeks ago was for torn cartilage caused by the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament in 2007 (while running near his home in Orlando).

I'll have more thoughts on this later......
