Was wondering what you guys thought of the recent news that TW has gone under the knife and do you feel it will effect his performance for the rest of the year?

As good as Tiger is, he's not going to win anything again until his knee is 100%. He is human (just about), and this minor setback will affect him a bit in terms of practice and momentum. I'd be surprised if he wins a major in 2008.

people keep claiming that woods will win every tournament he enters. Please get a reality check! even when fully fit there are numerous majors over the past number of years that he has not won. he has only won one of the past five US Masters for example. All of these he was perfectly fit to play, otherwise he would not have been there.

Look at the players championship that he just missed out on through injury. Throughout his entire career he has only won this title once in all of his attempts, hardly dominating!

he is a class act and a wonderful talent but over his career, he has not won half of the tournaments he has entered.

will people stop going on about him constantly!

I can't see him winning it, possibly even a surprise missed cut. After such a long lay-off even Woods could struggle. Mickelson great value winkeye Adam Scott good bet too.

I would not put my money on anybody else, if he turns up then he is prepared.

A golfer pivots against their knees during the backswing to generate and maintain power and momentum in the swing. This has to put immense stresses on the knees of any professional, particularly a big hitter.

I suspect that even if he is fully recovered from the surgery itself, his knees will not be 'match fit' for a couple of tournaments, and he won't be at his best.

In other words, he'll only win by four.

This is tough question to answer and cannot be done until perhaps after the first round of two of the tournament.

As with any major, the field will be very qualified and as time progresses, Tiger is losing his intimidation factor on his opponents.

Aside from this, even though I am a Tiger fan, Tiger has still not proven himself to be the greatest player of ALL TIME, unless he surpasses Jack's record by a wide margin.
