Tiger Woods out for the season
June 19, 2008
The consequences that Tiger has suffered after his historic win at the US Open mean he will miss the rest of the season. Tiger played through the pain barrier to claim his 14th major and keep in touch with Jack Nicklaus. He has paid the price heavily and will miss the Ryder Cup and the other two majors.
Tiger said…
“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 US 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.”
Simon Says…
Watching that US Open was brilliant and what Tiger said afterwards capped it off. He said he would never pull out in front of the thousands of people watching. I now wish he did because we will not see him again this year. I wish Tiger all the best and cannot wait to see him in action next year.
