Golfers with career ending or debilitating injuries

I can't think of any off the top of my head. I know several guys have had back or leg injuries and had to make some swing adjustments as they got older, but nothing like what's happening to Tiger.
I mean at this point it seems like Tiger may never play again, what's his deal?

PEDs are a helluva drug.

Well, picture who is out on the course on Saturday mornings.
Compared to many sports, it's not exactly a game where one will have career ending injuries.

He may never win again but Tiger will play on the tour again

Tiger got a sharp case of the chickenheaditis and the HGH and anabolics took their toll too.

Not sure what happened but Johnny Miller maybe it was a case of the yips.Can't remember a guy who had a quicker downfall at a early age.

Hogan could never play a full slate of tournaments after his wreck. It also made him almost blind in one eye. Still managed to win 8 of his 9 majors and a slew of tour events after. Had it not been for WW2 and the wreck, we'd probably be arguing Tiger vs. Hogan as greatest ever.

There have been plenty of golfers have back issues that derailed their careers, but no, you're not going to see a lot of career ending injuries because of the nature of the sport.

Didn't help that Tiger was training like a SEAL and getting his arse kicked and shot with rubber bullets before tournaments.

Ken Venturi, got bad arthritis in his hands and had to give up golf at a young age at a time when he was one of the best on tour.

I'm a huge Tiger fan, but wouldn't be surprised at all if he took performance enhancers.
Could his swing have anything to do with it? Modern swings aren't the best for staying healthy.

Not career-ending but many of the big long-swingers wound up with back issues late in their careers. Jack, Norman, Freddie to name a few.
I have read that golf is the absolute worst activity for your back. Still like to play, though.

Golf is terrible on your body. Lower back takes a lot of strain.

I'll take the low road and say Payne Stewart...

Chris DiMarco was hot in the mid 2000s. Chronic shoulder problems a fall on a ski slope and procedures in 2007 ended all that and he's now mostly commentating

PED's and a 9 iron to the head on Thanksgiving night for being an adulterer will do that to your game.
