its not an injury he cant recover from, will. it was cartilage work. kind of a scope/cleanout, from what i know (very little). but, if it were career threatening, the media would be all over it.

as for the chatter from tiger, he's bellicheking it like a hockey team in the playoffs.

but, we all know a couple weeks of 50 balls a day on the range, 50 4-footers a day on the green, and he'll kill the british by 5 shots.

i just wonder if he has any contractual obligations to show before the next biggie...spenda? heard/know anything about contracted appearances? didnt the buick used to play after the open? i know it changed a few years back (didnt hale irwin win b2b open/buick in '93?), but arent they still close?

edit...buick in two weeks...just looked. being that tiger drives about 1000 of their cars and the buick name is/used to be on the bag, i assume he has some sort of legal work to do to get out of that one? (but, i presume buick would rather have him over the next 10 years instead of hardballing him for this year?)
