So let the speculation begin as to what is truely wrong with is knee. My 2 cents...........

I think they scoped it and found more wrong than was originally thought. I think they left it as is so he could play this week. I bet he has surgery in a couple of weeks and is done the rest of the year. Just my thoughts.

...or he just had some inflammation that is rather common after undergoing surgery and it just takes time until everything settles back down.

Did you notice how it only hurt in the follow-though? It wasn't walking, it wasn't the backswing, it was the torque/twisting that hurt. After surgery, the body isn't supposed to experience such large forces... or else, it gets inflamed and hurts.

I don't buy the conspiracy theory because golf is a game one can excel at long into life unlike pretty much every single other major sport. If there was more wrong that has been let on, why not just do the major surgery and put in the necessary recovery time? Tiger would be back in plenty of time to continue his career, even if he missed a full year, or two, or three. It's not like this major put him over Jack or gave him the Grand Slam or anything. Sure, it was at one of his favorite courses, but the guy can win anywhere -- he doesn't need a "home-field advantage". The way Torrey performed this past week, the Open will be back there within 10 years -- that's my gut feeling.

I just don't buy into your conspiracy theory, there, fragger.

did you notice how it only hurt on a bad swing he is all show!

i think hes done for the year.

he is going to take it easy,, at least until the open.

but he's only going to play in the two majors the rest of the year.

I'm sorry Trey, but this is complete **.

If you paid attention it hurt on his drives, not many of the iron shots. Why? I think its simple, the torque of the driver followthrough is bigger than an iron shot and will therefore put more strain on the knee.

It looked like he almost winched through every drive, even the on where his ball wen't in the fairway.

yeah people last night were saying it was all show - i really dont think so nor do i see much he would gain for faking it.

He's done the rest of the season. He could have done additional damage to the knee playing against doctors orders.

I did notice, but don't agree with your conclusion!

I predict he misses the British Open at the very least. He will have it scoped again and maybe play in about 45 days. ****, football players come back in less time from a scoped knee.

Yeah but football players take steriods. Tiger wouldn't go there.

Hey, I'm just putting the thought out there BigNose!! I've never torn knee ligaments or a meniscus, but I have had a broken tibial plateau. I actually played golf twice while it was broken. Only certain moves made it hurt. I'm just putting it out there that he might have torn something last year or earlier this year. Why else would he be so guared about it? If it's just inflammation, why not just tell people?

Like I said before though..just my 2 cents. I was just interested more in what everyone else thought.

That was a bad decision to play if his doctors told him not to, and that he could further damage it by playing. It was an emotional one, being Father's day and Torrey Pines, and he won, but I think it was dumb to play in those circumstances.

But tiger is in better shape then some football players.. And tiger is just amazing like that... Hes almost as awesome as Churck norris

Think about it this way. He's at our nations championship...our world series....our super bowl. He's also at, what some say, is his home course that he's won six tournaments and 4 straight.

I guess I liken it to someone play on a broken leg during the superbowl....a broken ankle during the Stanley Cup Finals....or Kirk Gibson hitting a walk-off homerun in Game 1 of the world series.

I think it was a great accomplishment.
