  1. Did anyone really not see this coming? He came back way too fast and in an
    effort to stay competitive with the max distance guys, he went full
    throttle too much with his driver. I like his determination and that’s what
    makes him fun to watch but at some point you just have to stop being so
    stubborn and do what’s best for your health.

  3. I empathize with Tiger Woods in regards to his back pain. I have had back
    pain for some years as well. As you get older, the back pain gets worse.
    It’s not fun to be in chronic pain, every minute of every hour of every day
    of every week, etc. I hope Tiger gets to feeling better & finds some way he
    can play better despite his chronic back pain. I wish him well. My Mom &
    Dad like to watch golf on TV often. And Tiger Woods still remains my Mom’s
    favorite player to watch over the years. I even bought her a Tiger golf
    club cover that she has used for many years. Anyways, I wish Tiger Woods
    well. 

  4. Damn this really sucks. I wish, WISH, he would come back into contention.
    But I know back problems, it really does wear out your mind just having
    that pain all day and night. Re-tweaked my back on the course (among a few
    other times), and I was just thinking to myself “i can’t believe this crap
    isn’t healing after 2 years”…. 

  5. Tiger needs to step away from golf and not play one competitive round until
    he has played 4 straight days walking 18 holes each day free of pain and if
    he is physically unable to do that take a leave of absence, maybe a year or
    two off

  6. it’s time for the cameras to focus on someone else now , this has been is
    getting boring , every time he get’s a bogey or worse he limps off , i
    noticed when he reversed in his car he was straining his back looking over
    his shoulder not looking in too much pain ?

  8. Faking it please people if he was in that much pain no way could he swing
    that golf club I have had back pain for over 25 years, my tail bone tip is
    broken off and bent. I know for a fact he is not in that much pain and he
    could not move the way he was if he really had pain that bad in his back.
    Any good back doctor will tell you that he has done this before using his
    shoulder and knee. He WAS a good golfer but since he got caught with that
    girl crap few years back since he has not been playing like he should it is
    all in his head. So he just makes excuses using fake knee,shoulder and now
    back trouble.

  10. I totally agree, poor play veiled as an injury> He can hit lots of balls in
    practice, looks good and then when his score is going south are fuck it i’m
    done, get me outer here..I think his back is fine he needs to work on his
    confidence because that’s in far worse condition than his back. His pride
    wont allow him to continually play poorly in front of large crowds so
    better to exit under the guise of being injured. I’m not buying it for a
    second.

  13. Tiger has a degenerative disc that’s been shaved,it will never be the
    same.It will have healed with scar tissue and will be prone to
    reherniation.The swing is the cause as he is torquing and bending putting a
    lot of force into his lower spine as he tries to swing so hard and fast
    into the ball.He’s going to have to find a more back friendly way of
    swinging or he’ll be done.It’s sad to see but it happened to Seve and in
    the end he just couldn’t find a fairway.

  14. Lol another fake injury from tiger. Can he just permanently retire or is he
    going to keep withdrawing from every tournament on some fake back injury?
    All the golf channel media tomorrow will be tiger withdrawals blah blah
    blah. What about the guy winning? Maybe a short segment on him but whatever
    everything is about a guy who now sucks at golf and plays fake injury every
    other tournament.
