Tiger injured again!?

[bozza]

Just hit is tee shot on the 9th and held his right knee after the shot and looked in pain.

Genuine injury or just wants to get off the course because he's playing shocking?

It's his back again and it's been coming for a few holes.
Can't see him playing again this year now.

I'm thinking he wants to get off the course and pull out of the Ryder Cup Team before he's overlooked by Tom Watson.
My hope is that he quits for good.
He's fit enough and has the time for interviews though!
He's just been described as 'a broken man' .............................. for goodness sake, get a grip.

Its ok. The pain will magically go away after his next good shot. Bit like a footballer and "the magic sponge "

Certainly saves face rather than watson saying he's dropped.

 

[Ethan]

He just needs a pretty female physio to offer to rub it for him.

And then treat his knee.

 

[Val]

Time to realise that his body is goosed, he'll never get to the heights he once had again whilst he is fighting his body.

Brilliant! Just choked on my biscuit!

 

[bozza]

Genuinely think think the man is broken and it wouldn't surprise me if him and Foley part company in the near future.

 

[wull]

he's withdrew after another hurtful shot.

I genuinely think the man's swing is broken and it wouldn't surprise me if him and Foley part company in the near future.

[PhilTheFragger]

Certainly not a Tiger fanboy, but he looked in real pain and having had back surgery myself it ain't nice.
Think he has a major challenge to compete at the highest level as it is clear that his body can't take it anymore

The swing is broken and it's breaking him.

Foley is a good coach, he has worked wonders with Rose but it's just not working with Tiger.

 

[KJT123]

This back injury could be and probably is career threatening. It makes me so sad to see him like this, having grown up watching him win tournament after tournament.

One of the best golfers to ever grace the game and also one of the most exciting. To see people taking the mick out of him is just stupid considering what he has done for the game of golf.

But it has worked with Tiger, he won a few early last year inc the players.

It's not his swing that's the problem it's his body, no coach can fix that.

 

[Odvan]

Right,

I was pretty amazed that he came back when he did. The op he had was exactly the same as my lad had (14yo) last year. Digressing slightly it is unusual for children to suffer this but the Consultant told him/us that contact sport/physical stress sport was a complete no-no and not just for the following 6 months.

Now, I realise that adults recover far quicker than children in these cases (bones stopped growing etc) but I had complete empathy with him (how often can a normal person say that about Tiger) after one of his interviews during the open when he was describing the pain he was suffering for so long and that he lost his standard of life. Not wishing for the usual tiger haters to jump all over this but having seen it with my own eyes it doesn't matter who it is, they have my sympathy, back injuries/problems are just the worst for any able-bodied person to come to terms with but I do question how soon he's returned and I for one hope he comes back when he's 'match-fit' and ready to win more majors.

Before he does though, he might need to sort his swing out with his driver.....

IF he is as injured as it looks it could be career ending , IMO Tiger would not want to be a bit part player , he has had his surgeries and his recovery time and his comeback(s).. it aint working , so to me it would be time to say thats it guys , body has had enough im off

 

[bozza]

Said he did it on the 2nd hole, no signs of any injury then at all when they just replayed it.

I thought he actually was hurt but from what I just saw he looked perfectly fine.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

SSN are saying it jolted and went into spasm. No news on whether he'll play next week at the USPGA although I doubt it. I would think he'll call it a day for the rest of this season now and withdraw from the RC. It has to be seen if the back can hold up long term now and again I have my doubts and if it can't, he'll call it a day rather than just be there to make up the numbers. Its all about winning for him and he'd hate to be a bit part player
