Tiger withdraws

[A1ex]

Tiger wasn't using it as an excuse. No chance. He did the sensible thing and walked off.

The coverage of him from the blimp was laughable. I'm not a big Tiger fan but even if he never wins another even he'll always have legend status IMO.

But. Golf in 2012 doesn't need him. He's actually a negative point. Every event he plays in gets ruined by the coverage being totally focused on him. We're forced to watch him drop clubs, swear, look moody and not even challenge seriously. At the same time theres other top players, playing much better that hardly get a shot of coverage.

Tiger brings in the viewing figures but most of the extra viewers aren't genuine golf fans. Those people are just Tiger fanboys, who don't care about the actual game of golf.

The event at Doral was almost ruined by Tiger Woods and the coverage. He can be 10-15 off the lead and you'll see every single shot, yet even when Rory made a charge you only saw a few shots untill he got within a few of the lead.

I think The Masters will be better without him. The rest of the players will get the coverage they deserve then.

Whoa! Tried to read that but think it's strictly for physios and people with achilles injuries!

Well FD.
Im no physio but i ruptured my right one 2 years ago and done the left one just 3 weeks ago....So i have a bit of an inside knowledge on the culprit....

I initially thought when i heard the media saying it was his Achilles it was Porkies being told...
Then i said to myself well maybe it is his Achilles seeing as the guy is big into his personal fitness so it could have stemmed from that rather than the golf......

But one thing i do know is that if it is Tendonosis then i wouldnt think he will be playing too soon as they take a few weeks to a few months for the Tendon to repair itself....

If he ignores this then the inevitable may happen and you can forget him playing for the rest of the season.
