Bad news for the golf world. The world’s best player will be out for the rest of the season. Due to his chronic left knee . Woods is going to need another surgey for the left knee. I know much was made of my knee throughout the last week, and it was important to me that I disclose my condition publicly at an appropriate time. I wanted to be very respectful of the USGA and their incredibly hard work, and make sure the focus was on the U.S. Open, “Now, it is clear that the right thing to do is to listen to my doctors, follow through with this surgery, and focus my attention on rehabilitating my knee.”
A date for the knee surgery, as well as the necessary rehabilitation schedule, has not yet been determined.
“While I am obviously disappointed to have to miss the remainder of the season, I have to do the right thing for my long-term health and look forward to returning to competitive golf when my doctors agree that my knee is sufficiently healthy,” said Woods. “My doctors assure me with the proper rehabilitation and training, the knee will be strong and there will be no long-term effects.” Tiger Woods.
Yes despite everything that has happened to this man he is still winning tournaments. With his stirring four shot come from behind victory at the Dubai Classic, that included a 25 foot down slope putt that capped the comeback on the 18th hole, Woods has won his first two tournaments of the year for the third time in his career. With this victory Woods has won his last four official tournaments and six of his last seven. This does not bode well for the rest of the PGA. More so than ever Woods seems to be more at ease with every victory. When asked about the gap between himself and the worlds number 2 Phil Mickleson Woods playfully said ” I thought Ian Coulter was No.2?” Seems that nothing can stop this man right now, not a Golf Channel host or a magazine, Woods’ is on a roll.
Just like the New England Patriots this will be a year of perfection in the golf world. With all that has surrounded Tiger Woods this will cause this man to really concentrate on his game and only his game.Just like “spy-gate” spurred on this season of record breaking numbers, individually and team, everything that is going on right now will do the same for Tiger. What that will do for the rest of the PGA will not be pretty. Tiger as it is doesn’t play all the time and what he really wants is to win the majors. That is what he will do. If Tiger wins the grand slam ( US Open, Masters, British, and the Open Championship) that will put to bed all the “lynching” talk and the Golf magazine cover talk. With great play Tiger will not have to worry about the black community coming down on him so hard. Tiger lives for golf not what or how black people feel. The truth hurts sometimes and that is the truth. And the truth is that you heard it here first. Your boy K-Boogie bringing the real.
Tiger Woods has had little to say about the remarks said about him by Kelly Tilghman. Woods agent Mark Steinburg “nonissue” and later releasing a statement that said, “Regardless of the choice of words used, we know unequivocally that there was no ill intent in her comments.” I must say I am lost for words on Mr. Woods is handling this? I truly understand that all he wants to do is play golf, but to say this is a non issue is and absoulte disgrace. Woods must understand that eventhough his friend Tilgham has cleared up with him that this word is very offensive to blacks all over the country. Woods you’re the No. 1 sports player in the world, but you ranked last in standing up for what’s right.
Yes I understand this Kelly lady said that Tiger should be lynched in a back alley. Now Al Sharpton has jumped on this bandwagon saying that she should lose her job. That I understand as well. Now black people are all up in arms because Woods hadn’t come out and said how wrong this incident was and how he as a black man feels about it. That is where I start to not understand. To me at what point did Tiger become a black man. Yes his daddy is black but at what point has Woods ever embraced the black community. When Tiger won his first Masters legendary golfer Fuzzy Zoeller said and I paraphrase “I guess we will be having fried chicken and collard greens”. When Tiger, while his dad was still alive, didn’t come out and say anything about that I said to myself he is not a black man. From that point on I didn’t see him anymore as a brotha man just a tan man. I contend that the only reason black folks gravitated to Woods in the first place was because he was the only thing of color that we could associate with in a white man’s game. At that time Vijay Singh was nowhere near the golfer he is today. I also say that if there was a golfer who was a 100% black and played to the level of Phil Mickelson or even to a lesser extreme Ernie Els that would be the golfer black people would love not Tiger. But this absurd notion that as Sharpton wants to put it we should boycott Woods’ endorsements is crazy. We need to place our energy elsewhere. I mean we can’t look to athletes to be who we wnat them to be. They live in a different world. When will us as regular people start to realize that.
