   Tiger with all his recent mistakes and failures still has more golf left in his right pinky toe than any of you trolls making derogatory comments ever will have for the rest of you life.

   Tiger looks like he is still working out regularly, though he is not as bulky as he once was. I guess I don’t understand why he is able to keep pumping the weights, yet he can’t swing a golf club. Seems to be if he was truly resting as so he should be after all the problems he has had, he should keep exercise to a minimum except for those prescribed for his injury.

   I’m not a doctor and I’m pretty sure neither is Zak, but this sounds serious to me. Back spasms are typically caused by muscles that are overworked trying to support the spinal column. If it was simply overworking these muscles by swinging a club the spasms should have gone a way in 1-3 days of rest. We’re WAAAY past that. This suggests inflamation in a disc or in the spinal column, that is continuing to overwork these back muscles. Neither of these alternatives is good. His doctors advice to stay horizontal is consistent with this.

   So he withdraws from a Tournament after a bad round, history is just repeating itself from the withdrawl because his ankle hurt to today. Fact is he says he is okay, comes out and tries to outdrive the field, springs his back and withdraws, it is common as it was for him to destroy the whole field a while ago. If the guy would use his Brain for something besides sex he would slow down and play without pain. It just takes an easier swing and keeping in tempo with the Club, no great fix, just common sense. Of which he has proven to not have. So long Tiger, you won’t change and things will not get better. It was good while it lasted.

   HAHA! Stay horizontal to recover from a back injury? What a joke. Tiger, give it up. You are done. Stop getting in the way and disappear, PLEASE!!!

   Not likely – I doubt this was the advice he was given – but who knows.

     Bert, I agree. I do have to preference this by saying that I have zero idea but he is going through and he may have legitimately gotten this advise. In my own experience with a bad back and muscle spasms, my doctors have wanted me to get up and move. No, they did not want me to play golf, but lying around for a week or so was not going to help.

   What injury? Is this a new one or the same old one that keeps appearing when he tees it up? He said he was healed, he didn’t fall or anything while playing golf. I cannot keep this interweaving story line straight anymore. Point – he is either injured or healed, becoming injured again from a round of golf after so much time off where he is said to have been playing golf and practicing doesn’t make any sense. Unless when he was golfing he was using a golf cart and it is the walking of the course that is too much – now that I can understand and it has some logic. If that is the case then I’m pretty sure the PGA Tour would be willing to allow him a cart to drive him around – maybe Bubba’s hover craft to minimize aggravating his back. I’m not dissing him, but none of the current story line makes much sense.

     The PGA Tour was sued by Casey Martin because they would not allow him to take a cart. Martin has a severe blood flow problem in his legs and sued using the handicap laws. He lost. Also, Casey played on the same Stanford team as Tiger, and Tiger did not support him in they suit.

     I assume that you have never had a back problem, they can flair up for any reason; tension, a wrong step, a sudden jar, etc. You could be perfect one day and the next in great pain.

     I have had a bad back for over 30 years, a three day tournament just destroys me from just swinging a club. And in tournaments I practically always ride.

       I understand where he is coming from – it is just the media I guess and the way they report it. I actually injured my back (and internal organs) pretty badly and it would lock up and put me on the ground instantly. I was still young, but still had to walk away from all competitive sports. Was 30+ years before I gave golf another try. I guess with his damage he may remain how I was at first. If that is indeed the case then he just needs to walk away from playing competitive golf and do other things he enjoys.

     Completely agree. None of it makes logical sense, he’s either been practicing the last few months or he hasn’t.

    Isn’t staying horizontal what got him in this mess in the first place?
