So the man is having surgery, again, i know that this has been fizzling for about a week but i just got to the computer. At this point Tiger Woods is to the PGA Tour what Jesus is to Christmas, you can remove him from the equation but then you have nothing. Woods had surgery on his knee weeks before the U.S. Open, which took place last weekend. Also generally overlooked was the occurrence of a double stress fracture that bothered him leading up to the championship. So with all of the knee issues its amazing that he was able to win the Open especially after his doctor told him he should not participate. But some have asked what does a knee have to do with a golf swing, so im here to address it.
Formerly a golfer myself, although it was brief, i can help you with your inquiries. When taking a golf swing the legs are just as important as the arms and the torso. First, your feet must be planted and the line that can be drawn from big toe to big toe is usually where the ball is going to go, so it is important to aim your feet properly. So your whole body is going to slightly twist and that includes the knees, therefore with some structural or ligament damage in the knee you could affect your swing dramatically. Believe it or not stability in your swing is important.
With Tiger out for the year we shall see how the PGA Tour fares, many commentators have voiced their opinions about the Tour being in trouble. I have to disagree, after all my favorite golfer is still playing- Zach Johnson
