    It's not an opinion, it's fact. He took them halfway through his round on Sunday and they worked, so he took them again before (and probably during) the playoff. Nothing prescription based, just over the counter pain relief. Meant the injury didn't flare up as much as the first three days.

    I agree with whomever said you'd fit right in with ESPN.

    And that's not a compliment. That's basically saying that this useless, baseless idea is perfect for the ESPN machine.




    The commentators stated several times that Tiger was on pain killers. They didn't know for sure if he took them on Monday (though, I would assume so since he did take them on Sunday).

    Also, he is coming off the major knee surgery. And with the amount of torque he puts on the left knee in his swing.....

    Torn ACL and a double stress fracture of the tibia. I think that answers the question posed in this thread.

    He isn't human.

    At no point did I suggest he wasnt hurt, and if anything, todays news lends more credence to my original theory....what I noticed was that he was acting MORE hurt on day 3 than he was on day 5, and becasue of that, i wondered out loud if he was making more out it on day 3 to gain a competitive advantage....to further clarify, if he was, it was a brilliant plan, because after todays news, he appears even more unhuman than before....
