Also check this chart out from an article on ESPN: Woods since his injury How good has Tiger Woods been since he says he injured his ACL running at home after last year's British Open? Look at his results (he also played on the U.S. Presidents Cup team): Event Finish Money WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Won $1,350,000 PGA Championship Won $1,260,000 Deutsche Bank Championship 2nd $522,667 BMW Championship Won $1,260,000 Tour Championship Won $1,260,000 Target World Challenge Won $1,350,000 Buick Invitational Won $936,000 Dubai Desert Classic Won $417,000 WGC-Accenture Match Won $1,350,000 Arnold Palmer Inv'l Won $1,044,000 WGC-CA Championship 5th $285,000 Masters 2nd $810,000 U.S. Open Won $1,350,000 So the guy plays 13 tournaments since he suffered the torn ACL and wins 10 of them, two second place finishes, and one 5th place.

ThurmanMunster Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 whats so amazing abotu the ACL tear? u can walk normally with an ACL tear. u just cant do the cutting and shit that an NFL player would have to do. ive known people who have torn their ACL and waited 2 years to get it fixed and did many things in that time. the stress fracture is interesting but grant hill did play basketball on one for a few years (constantly missing time tho) but he didnt just have to walk for 5 days.

I do know there is likely a far difference athletically between what Tiger does and the people you know who get by on it for 2 years. I just find it funny that you're so obsessed with shitting on Tiger and his accomplishments. Not surprised though, as you have a habit of doing it with anything you hate, even when you're so obviously wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other sports do not require an ACL for most athletes. Patients who participate in high demand sports usually require surgery after an ACL tear to return to participation. Answer: Deciding if you need ACL reconstruction surgery depends, in large part, on what activities you want to return to after treatment. High-demand sports are those in which most athletes require a functioning ACL. [b]Athletes who participate in low-demand sports may not need an ACL to return to competition.[/b] High-Demand Sports * Football * Soccer * Basketball * Skiing * Gymnastics * Hockey (Ice and Field) * Wrestling * Lacrosse * Rugby * Singles Tennis * Cheerleading Moderate-Demand Sports * Baseball * Doubles Tennis * Track (Field Events) Low-Demand Sports * Running/Jogging * Cycling * Crew Notice golf isnt even listed. But i would consider golf in the low demand running/jogging as you are walking. the twist on your left knee will not hurt until AFTER your swing if you have a good golf swing. so it may be uncomfortable but with pain killers you will be fine (as tiger was once he took the pain killers and his game improved significantly at that point). my grandpa has double knee replacement and he can golf just fine. his game has actually improved, including his distance. You dont even have an ACL anymore once u get knee replacement because they are removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatcat Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thurman, I have never (atleast I think never trashed on you or call you out) but you are a complete and total moron. Tiger hurt his left knee which is the plant knee for power and absorbs more torque than Carson Palmer will ever see on his surgically repaired knee. If you cared to pay attention during any slow motion replay of Tiger's swing you will see the torque on the knee joint. I should try to explain to you what torque is, but I will allow you to Google and then question your ability to comprehend. You have no fucking clue what you are talking about, except for some lame ass friend of yours. I've had both ACL surgery and meniscus clean up surgery. I could walk without a limp, but anything that put torque on my knee was painful as a knife in the knee. It took nearly 2 years for it to totally heal - granted I was not a professional athlete with the resources nor the effort and time required. Do me a favor and shut the fuck up.
