Tiger Woods says he won't swing a golf club before 2009

Tiger Woods said in a newsletter yesterday that he will not be hitting the practice tee or green before next year. The 32-year-old Woods had reconstructive surgery on his left knee June 24, after winning the U.S. Open in a playoff …

“As far as swinging a club, that’s not going to happen until next year,” he said in the newsletter. “I just don’t have a choice. We simply don’t know what type of swelling there would be or if there would be any residual effects the next day once you start wheeling and dealing on the knee. Everyone’s body reacts differently. I could putt right now, but I’m not going to do it.”

Prince Edward Island has become a premier golf destination, National Golf Editor Tim McDonald writes at GolfCanada.com.

I have had reconstructive surgery on the knee, replacement ligament and still manage to get round 18 holes twice a week. Surer he will need a certain amount of bed rest, the period stated by the journalist seems a bit excessive.

Ron,
Tiger is using his "time off" to wheel and deal in his many different money making adventures. He is trying and will succeed to become golfs first billionaire before he is 40. If he could only play the four majors each year, he would be very happy.

Seems we got a bit of discussion going here with mant small business partners, shame really as I punch above their weight. Yeh the golf weekend was good guys! However tend to disagree with some comments, if a guy is injured then leave him until he has recovered!! P.s my carp fishing holidays in France are btter than yours, thats why I earn lots of money.

The statement is back on the menu as he has recently done recently well in the America Vs International. His knee seems to be fine, I read in a magazine that he covers 40 mile a week during the season!
