Golf’s worst nightmare

June

The news is starting to filter its way onto web sites all across the country: Tiger Woods’ 2008 golf season appears over.

According to a report by The Golf Channel, Woods has decided to undergo season-ending knee surgery. The world’s No. 1 golfer suffered a stress fracture in his left tibia about two weeks before the U.S. Open and needs to have his ACL repaired.

The PGA Tour will certainly suffer having its top draw on the sidelines. In the meantime, those who thought he was faking it, including several of my colleagues, owe Mr. Woods an apology.

This makes his recent win over Rocco Mediate in a grueling 19-hole playoff even more amazing and only adds to his legend. Even with just one good leg, Tiger proved he’s still the best in the world. Only time will tell if this will derail his quest to shatter every record.
