The Cold Turnkey

After capping off the recent U.S. Open with a 1^st place winning, Tiger Woods had no other choice but to entirely surrender himself to medical care and complete knee recovery, one thing that his doctor had always been telling him in the past.

Woods would be missing the rest of the 2008 golf season since he is due for a reconstructive ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery on his left knee. That would also mean missing The PGA Championship as well as the Open Championship.

Woods has been playing with a torn ligament in his left knee for at least ten months.

In April, he was out of the competition for two months, as he underwent surgery to clean out the cartilage in his left knee. Two weeks before the U.S. Open, he suffered from a double stress fracture in his left tibia while on rehabilitation. He was advised to go on crutches for three weeks and another three weeks of rest. Wanting to play in the U.S. Open like a kid craving for candy, he disobeyed the doctor’s order. Despite a terrible knee condition, Woods still managed to win the competition, a testament to his prowess in golf.

In fact, Woods has won the majority of tournaments that he joined for the 2008 season.

Everybody is saddened because of Tiger Wood’s absence for the rest of the tour but the fans will surely be expecting a stronger and more invincible player when the tiger recovers.
