A Particle of Boredom

World No-1 golfer, Tiger Wood will be missed by golf fraternity since he will undergo a knee surgery.

Two days after a grueling U.S. Open that took him five days and 91 holes to win, Woods said Wednesday he will have reconstructive surgery on his left knee to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, forcing him to miss the rest of the season.. Woods also revealed that he had a double stress fracture in his left tibia, suffered two weeks before the U.S. Open as he tried to prepare for the Memorial.

Woods will miss a major for the first time in his career, the British Open at Royal Birkdale. Coincidentally, it was at Birkdale in 1998 where Nicklaus’ record of consecutive majors played ended at 146. Woods was the only player with a reasonable chance to match that record, but not anymore.

Woods also will miss the PGA Championship, where he was the two-time defending champion. And in September, he will not be part of the Ryder Cup team at Valhalla.
