Tiger out for the year!

Tiger Woods is out of golf for the remainder of the year. The world number one will have reconstructive surgery on his left knee that will sideline him for the rest of the 2008 season, he also said he would require time off to rehabilitate a double stress fracture of his left tibia that was found last month and attributed to his intense rehabilitation and preparation for the US Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Woods, who has already been under the knife on 3 occasions on his left knee, refused to disclose much detail of the pain he clearly suffered at Torrey Pines last week.
