It looks like Tiger Woods’ US Open victory was a bit more heroic than it seemed.
He’s having season-ending surgery for a torn ligament and stress fractures in his left leg.
From the link:
Tiger Woods walked tenderly out of Torrey Pines with a U.S. Open trophy he was destined to win on a left leg worse than anyone imagined. A group of children called out to him and Woods looked over and waved.
It turned out to be a most symbolic gesture.
So long, Tiger.
See you next year.
Woods revealed Wednesday he has been playing for at least 10 months with a torn ligament in his left knee, and that he suffered a double stress fracture in his left leg two weeks before the U.S. Open. He said he will have season-ending surgery, knocking him out of the final two majors and the Ryder Cup.
Maybe there will be less pressure on the US Ryder Cup team w/o him and they will play better.

You may well be on to something there. Tiger nevers plays his best golf in the Ryder Cup and some of his partners seem a bit daunted or intimidated when paired with him.
I bet post surgery, post rehab Tiger is going to more unstoppable than ever.
