No, more like this......

Hank Haney has accused his former pupil of wearing injuries like an “athletic badge of honour”.

So obsessed was Woods with being regarded as an athlete, his former coach argues, that he used injuries as a means of being accepted by stars who played more physically demanding sports than golf.

Haney recalls: “It got to the point where Steve Williams [Woods’s former caddie] and Mark Steinberg [the golfer’s agent] would just roll their eyes when Tiger had another injury complaint.”

I do believe tiger legitmately suffered injuries because its very common for people who use PEDs to have constant injury problems. look at the transformation of his physique and its no doubt he used PEDs

Falls down in agony but yet he birdies the next two holes. I think he is back on the roids. He looks like he's added some weight back. He's nothing but a big ole puss. Like Sergio said, It's not rocket engineering.

I've gone to the ER after swinging a bat and collapsing to the ground with severe back spasms. I would never wish that pain on anybody. I was close to passing out with pain several times, especially when they moved me from the baseball field to the back of a pickup truck.

Some muscle relaxers, valium and 2 days of RICE and I was back to normal. I would imagine if Tiger's weren't that severe they probably shot him up and relaxed them.

However it was the worst pain by far I've ever experienced in my life. Not even a close second (never had kidney stones, knock on wood). I don't know if Tiger milked it, but spasms can put you down with the quickness.

Talk about milking it for the cameras. I've never seen anyone, ever, crumble to the ground in agony like that. Give me a break.


This is retarded. The dude won a major with an ACL tear.

I hate it when people assume they know the pain someone else is going through.

Anyone who hasn't had back spasms before has no room to talk. I had them in college and it was some of the worst pain i've experienced.

This. was fine for years, then just out of the blue they started happening and I've never been the same since. It's amazing pain.

So after watching Tiger continue to walk and twist his back, its safe to say that it wasnt some of the worst pain he'd every experienced ?

The question now is, was it sufficient enough pain to drop him to his knees ? I gotta go with no. Any pain that ever dropped me to my knees, necessitated immediate medical assistance

TW has a flair for the dramatic. He over did it this time.

I heard on ESPN that he can sit out till the championship at East Lake if he chooses.

And I think the charity event was one put on by his buddy Notah Begay.

Just watched the last few holes again. Guy was in some serious pain. Did he have to fall to his knees after the shot on 13? Maybe not. But I don't believe for 1 second that he was not experiencing intense pain.

Bending from his knees to read putts and pick up his putts after making birdies. Not watching his second shot on 18 after he flushed it. Not fist pumping or smiling after making the birdies at 16 and 17. Sounding completely out of it in the post round interview.

Those of you saying he only did it after bad shots are complete morons.
