Anyone remember the fist pump he gave during last year's PGA Championship where he sort of wheeled on the downslope of the side of the green and came up with a noticeable limp? He was asked about it after the round (can't remember which round) and gave a terse "It's fine".

I have this odd feeling that is where he blew his ACL apart and no way can his pride, or ego, allow him to reveal to everyone he blew out his knee celebrating (ala that kicker Gramatica).

I'm not buying the "I tore it jogging after the British Open".

Yeah, because "I tore it while jogging" is so manly. Clearly his ego is better off pretending he tore it jogging than celebrating a huge shot in a major.

If his ego mattered, he'd say he tore it playing some tackle football with the guys or something. You have no real reason to believe he tore it other than when he said he did. He slipped and could have rolled his ankle - big deal. For that very reason, I'm closing the thread. If you want to call Tiger a liar, have some proof.

    • From what I’ve read, it was in the manufacturing process and how the covers were nicking pretty easy.  He has had to resource his factory as the one used earlier is now a TM owned facility.  Initial reports seem to indicate the redesign is going to be a winner…
    • Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.
    • Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere. 
    • First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!! 
    • Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.
