Tiger Woods: Why He Doesn't Play, Or Care What ...

Tiger Woods suffered an injury three weeks ago at Augusta on the 17th hole in the third round. According to sources it's a level one, mild sprain on the same left knee that has nagged him throughout his illustrious career.

Surprisingly Tiger's usual theatrics of showing that he's in pain weren't on display as he was fist-pumping birdie putts on the first nine at Augusta the following day.

This is the same guy that beat Rocco Mediate on one leg (essentially) in a 19 hole playoff on a torn ACL and stress fractures to win his 14th major at Torrey Pines in 2008.

That's all a distant memory now as the infamous "level one mild sprain" will keep him out of action at Quail Hollow at the Wells Fargo Championship next weekend.

Or is it the unprecedented 79 Tiger posted there last season in the second round to miss the cut that has him not returning to Charlotte this year?

 I hope Tiger gets backs to his winning ways as well. I hope the swing change does work. Golf is better for everyone when Tiger is competing and winning.

A swing change in golf may be the most difficult things to do in all of sports. I agree that the new swing may be better and help him stay healthy. I was just pointing out that the change and subsequent work he's doing with Sean Foley is another contributing factor as to why he isn't playing as frequently.

But you're correct, all the Isleworth thxgiving nonsense and infidelity is in the past, people just want to see great golf, which usually includes Tiger playing at a high level.
