Tiger's Knee

Although today's medical science seems to cure a lot, it makes you wonder if four operations (or even an eventual knee replacement) will mean that Tiger Woods will be good as new again next year.

I mean the guy was a superfit athlete... Sheeeeesh, I thought he was like Iron Man. Note that there are other players with significant back, hip and arm/wrist injuries as well... If those dudes get injured whattabout us amateurs... So far I have avoided injury, but is it inevitable?

In the meantime it's a wide open field for the PGA, the rest of the year... which is kinda good for the young guns (and the other old pros too), I suppose, in the short run.

Is the problem injury as in a sudden break or pull or is it an injury related to the stresses placed on the joint over a period of intensive use. Maybe the way many golfers create great stresses on the joints due to the style of their golf swings in the search for maximum distance is propagating more of them to be injury prone?

The current pga sched has too many events by far... No time for proper rest and healing even in the champions tour and lpga... they should have only half the events and remove Sunday play too.
