Tiger Woods has decided to have surgery on his left knee, which will end his 2008 season, according to a source close to Woods.
A report on the Golf Channel, citing unnamed sources, said Woods would have surgery on his ACL.
The Golf Channel and Associated Press reported that Woods suffered a small stress fracture in his left leg about two weeks before the U.S. Open.
The AP reported that Woods is expect to discuss his future on his Web site later Wednesday.
Woods had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on April 15, two days after he finished second in The Masters in April.
He won the U.S. Open in a playoff over Rocco Mediate on Monday.
Woods had committed to playing in the Buick Invitational next week. He hosts the AT&T National the week after at Congressional Country Club in Washington, D.C. The report said he would fulfill his obligations to sponsors at those events.
He was also scheduled to play in the British Open in July and defend his PGA Championship title in August.
The Ryder Cup is set for September at Valhalla, just outside of Louisville, Ky.
Terrible news...
Bummer. But at least he can afford to miss work.
Ha ha. I think it's wise that he takes care of it now before he damages himself and ruins his entire career v. solely 2008.
Is this covered in the family leave act???
Access Control List?
Tiger has no proven he can play better golf on one leg than anybody else on two!
Geez, you’d think the dude was a football player, and not a prince who waves a stick, which is handed to him by a personal slave, before he leisurely walks to the next spot, while the slave schleps along with the heavy bag.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
It takes a long time to heal.
This 'slave' makes about $2mil a year, so I am sure he doesn't mind carrying a bag around a golf course!

I couldn't find those jobs paying $50/hour to pick lettuce that McCain mentioned. Maybe I can line up one of those seven-figure golf slave gigs.
I think it's covered by the $150 million or so he makes every year.
I walk with a limp too. ;^)
Because they give you cash, which is just the same as money.
Now he’ll have to spend more time with that beast of a wife he has.
The poor guy will have to spend lots of time in bed, flat on his back, poor lamb.
That is one of the better AFLAC commercials. Even the duck was stunned and couldn’t speak.
