Tiger injured again!?

I have empathy for him if he is genuinely injured but he said he did it on his 2nd shot on the 2nd hole.

The replays show him running backwards into the bunker and back out with no sign of a injury.

I think the swing is more broken than his body.

I'd like to say I'm far from a Tiger fan boy. But I love watching amazing golfing moments.

I rarely post on anything where i can see the usual drivel about to unfold but what a pointless, contradictory post that is. You have empathy with him if he's not lying but if he's lying, he retired because his swing is pants?!?!!? Clever....

He played for months with a nasty back problem, probably two-fold. For commercial reasons and for his own, professional, competitive desire to play and win. Whatever the reason, he shouldn't have and he should have got it sorted sooner with a longer recuperation time and it surprises me that he wasn't afforded the time, of afforded it to himself, to recover properly and I for one hope its not directly associated with his recent disc problem, although that seems unlikely.

Anybody on here who wants to post that he's withdrawn from the tournie because he was playing badly is a complete fool or troll.

Whatever anyone's opinion of him as a person is, he was on course to be and still could well be, the greatest golfer of all time and has provided us all with some breathtaking moments. Long may it continue I say.

He showed no signs of the injury before the 9th, which happens to be right near the clubhouse, slight coincidence!?

Or maybe it's because he's not won as many majors?

You're damned right it's been a privilege, especially the U.S.Open in 2000, unbelievable player.

if he'd won more majors people would still of found fault. IMO Sergio is better than a lot of major winners.

But as I'm a youngster all I can say is woods got me into the game. And I'd not been interested before.

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.

Well said.
 
Its a shame anyone finds themselves in a place where they have to cast doubt on whether the injury is genuine or not

Is this something new arising from Rory's toothache incident or have golfers always been doubted when citing injury/illness during a round?
 
Really hope he gets it sorted out, maybe he needs to reduce his schedule and as much as possible and focus on the majors ? I do find his attitude towards the galleries tiresome but the fact is it's a better, more exciting sport when he's playing well. Imagine how great it would be seeing him and Rory in the final paring at a major when both are on top form.

There are a lot of people playing golf now that wouldn't be without his influence, and in a time of falling golf club membership some people would do well to remember that.

Didn't see it but he said he ran down a bank to a bunker and that's where it happened, tried to play on but gave up after the 9th tee shot

I watched a few holes this morning and he looked ok just swinging poorly until that tee shot and he just lioked crippled from it

They were talking that possibly playing on in 2008 has ruined his body

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

And then treat his knee.

:clap:
Though he seemed to prefer the 'ugly' (or at least 'rough') ones when he had 'gorgeous' at home!

And I think it was the back rather than the knee. Most likely holding the knee to stay upright/support his back!!

That was on the 2nd or 3rd hole. drive came to rest on the grass just above a bunker, had a horrid stance and twisted on one leg, turned and ran down into the bunker and out.

didnt see any winces or obvious signs of injury, but he started playing some really poor shots afterwards, so something clearly wasnt right.
maybe he thought he could play through it, but that drive on the 9th, you could see the pain and trust me, when that pain hits you, you have nowhere to go or hide, you just stop and wait and breathe.

Dont like the man, but admire the golfer and wish him well

Agreed, I put my back out at the gym and landed in a heap, on my knees, face planted on the ground. Uncomfortable as that was, I couldn't move an inch, pain was excruciating and it was fear that moving would exacerbate it as much as anything else that left me stuck there for several minutes...

I've seen it reported that Tiger could barely change his shoes after he withdrew. I have every sympathy for him on this one it must be so frustrating to almost get back and then break down again.
 
He'll be back never fear. He may not play again this season and if so the a return at the Masters would be ideal. That would give him time to recover and rehab properly. IMO he was railroaded into playing this summer when he plainly wasn't ready.

You're having a laugh .................. surely?
Railroaded by who exactly?

After all the negative press about golf viewing figures in the US due to the lack of Tiger it must have been suggested that he play sooner rather than later. He certainly wasn't physically ready for it so why else would he do it ?
 
Back problems are no joke and anyone who has ever suffered from them will know that.
I guess it all depends on if this latest problem is related to his earlier back injury. If it is, then I guess it may be a serious problem, if not he could be back in a couple of weeks, depending on the injury.
For me, I hope he makes a full and swift recovery. It doesn't matter who he is. I don't want to see any career end this way.
