 Tiger
Woods ikke med i Masters
01.04 Tiger Woods:
I likhet med Suzann Pettersen trekker Tiger Woods seg fra
årets først Major-turnering
Det er trist at de to fargerike
spillerne ikke blir med.
Tutta er ikke bra nok i ryggen til å stille opp i følge en pressemelding som
utgir seg for ikke å være en aprilspøk.
På Tigers hjemmeside kan vi lese:
TigerWoods.com:
Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he has undergone a successful
microdiscectomy for a pinched nerve that has been hurting him for several months.
The surgery was performed Monday in Park City, Utah, by neurosurgeon Dr. Charles
Rich.
The procedure was successful, but Woods will be unable to play in the Masters
Tournament, instead requiring rest and rehabilitation for the next several weeks.
"After attempting to get ready for the Masters, and failing to make the
necessary progress, I decided, in consultation with my doctors, to have this
procedure done," Woods said.
"I'd like to express my disappointment to the Augusta National membership,
staff, volunteers and patrons that I will not be at the Masters," Tiger added. "It's
a week that's very special to me. It also looks like I'll be forced to miss
several upcoming tournaments to focus on my rehabilitation and getting healthy.
"I'd also like to thank the fans for their support and concern. It's very kind
and greatly appreciated. This is frustrating, but it's something my doctors
advised me to do for my immediate and long-term health."
Woods will begin intensive rehabilitation and soft-tissue treatment within a
week. Healing and recovery times differ for each individual based on many
physiological factors, but Woods could begin chipping and putting, after
assessment by his doctors, in three weeks.
The goal is for Tiger to resume playing sometime this summer. The repetitive
motion from golf can cause this injury, and Woods could have sustained further
damage if he had continued to play. There should be no long-lasting effects from
the surgery, and it should not impact the longevity of his career.
"It's tough right now, but I'm absolutely optimistic about the future," Woods
said. "There are a couple [of] records by two outstanding individuals and
players that I hope one day to break. As I've said many times, Sam and Jack
reached their milestones over an entire career. I plan to have a lot of years
left in mine."
