With the start of the U.S. Open at Congressional only five weeks away, questions about Tiger's physical health and his overall state of mind escalate. And questions about whether he'll ever regain his championship form continue.
Tiger withdrew from the Players Championship Thursday after shooting a 'six over par' 42 on the front nine. He was wincing in pain on a few holes and said afterwards that he was having trouble walking. Tiger 'in pain' and Tiger 'limping' is becoming more usual than not. Golf fans could see and feel how much pain Tiger was in when he won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in 2008. He looked like an injured warrior, wincing in pain on every tee shot and on many of his shots from the fairway. Immediately after that win, he had reconstructive surgery on his left anterior cruciate ligament. He was also playing with a broken bone in his left leg! Not sure if he knew that, but nobody else did! He was noticeably limping in Sunday's final round at this year's Masters. He later said he injured himself in the third round of the Masters, hitting a shot out of the pine straw. He still finished tied for fourth, grabbing a share of the lead for a brief period and managed to shoot a 67 in that final round.
