Rocco's sitting somewhere saying, "Why not LAST WEEK?"

Wow. That Open win was pretty damaging.

What a blow to the PGA Tour and the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

 

[Trey Beamon]

Hmmm. Figured he'd take a short break and play in the British Open.

Any truth to the rumor that the PGA will just cancel the rest of the tour..?

 

[Boobie Miles]

What does this do to his performance this weekend? I'd say it elevates it another level.

Wow, if true, there is some doubt about whether he'll be able to catch Jack.

Any way you paint it, this is the beginning of the physical decline. For him to already have this many knee issues at his age, it's not a situation that is going to get better as time goes on. If it's really ACL, can he even make The Masters next year?

Hmm, I might be able to get some cheap tickets to Valhalla after all to watch the U.S. get smoked again.

Mickelson and some of the other big boys better pull their heads out of their rears and be very ready for the British Open and PGA.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

Phil Mickelson and the other top 150 golfers not named Tiger Woods just broke into HUGE ****-eating grins.
The PGA Tour is handing out black armbands and declaring a national day of mourning.
Tour sponsors, NBC and CBS have flooded suicide hotlines across the country.

No, there is still no doubt (from here anyway) of him catching Jack.

And ACL's heal pretty quick now. Remember Rod Woodson?

We go live for Doug Ferguson's reaction:

Blow to the Ryder Cup my ass. You could pull any slap off of the Nationwide Tour to accumulate the record that he has in Ryder Cup play.

 

[Bob Sakamano]

Partially, maybe. But I'd also wager they're not too pleased that historically, people will tend to put a * on these final two majors and attempt to label them as worthless since Tiger didn't play. Stupid, but it will happen for a lot of the golf fan base.

 

[sportshack06]

ESPN Radio just said stress fracture suffered 2 weeks earlier (cause of the pain) and ACL surgery..

 

[nafselon]

[blue font] Wow...what a faker

Given Tiger's ****-poor attitude toward the Ryder Cup and his record, this might actually be a help.

You're looking now at a team of

Phil
Cink
Furyk
Leonard
Weekley
Perry
Kim
Snedeker

Capn's picks:
Stricker
Johnson
Verplank
Austin? Trahan? Mahan? CH3?

I like that group, honestly.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

If he continues to play anywhere near respectable the rest of the year, I say you now have to cash in and make Rocco the captain's pick. People certainly won't be tuning in for Tiger.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

Phil Knight just called R&D to discuss the development of advances in knee brace design, complete with a swoosh on the part that covers the patella tendon ....

 

[93Devil]

The legend of that U.S. Open win just grows and grows.

Tiger will be a monster next year, and I think the rest of his career it will be the irons and putter he will be known for. Those snap knee drives were just wrecking his knee.
