Tiger Woods out again for knee surgery

Tiger Woods out again for knee surgery The best golfer in the world, Tiger Woods, will miss the rest of the season to undergo a knee surgery, the top player disclosed on his website. The U.S. Open winner will have another surgery on his injured left knee and will miss the Open at Royal Birkdale, the Ryder Cup and USPGA Championship. "It was important to me that I disclose my condition publicly at an appropriate time. Now, it is clear that the right thing to do is listen to my doctors, follow though with this surgery, and focus my attention on rehabilitating my knee. Although I will miss the rest of the 2008 season, I'm thrilled with the fact that last week was such a special tournament," Tiger Woods posted on his website. The upcoming surgery will be the fourth on his left knee. The last one was on 15 April to clean out cartilage in his left knee, which sidelined the world's No.1 until the U.S. Open, which he won in a sudden-death playoff against Rocco Mediate.
