http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=3348702 Tiger Woods had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday to correct cartilage damange, his 2nd function in five years on exactly the same knee. At the very least per month he's likely to miss while he recovers. The surgery, introduced on his Site, got two days after shots were finished two by Woods behind Trevor Immelman in the Masters. He probably will skip The Players Championship, but must return over time to perform the U.S. Available at Torrey Pines. The decision was made by "i to cope with the suffering and plan the surgery for following the Masters," Woods said. "The benefit is that I've understand how to manage it and experienced this method before. I anticipate working through the treatment process and getting back once again to motion as rapidly as I can." The surgery was done in Park City, Utah, by Thomas Rosenberg, who also run on Woods' left leg in December 2002. Woods also had surgery in 1994 on his left leg to get rid of a cancerous tumefaction. Woods gave his leg to no sign was bothering him when he gained his first four competitions to increase a streak that dated to September, the first 3 months of the growing season. "Tiger has been enduring pain in his leg because the middle of this past year, and when he'd it looked at by his health practitioners, arthoscopic surgery was recommended," mentioned Mark Steinberg, Woods' broker at IMG. "Tiger has performed through the suffering previously, but believed it'd be better for him to truly have the process done as soon as possible." Steinberg said the surgery fixed cartilage injury. The 2002 surgery cleared liquid from round the anterior cruciate ligament and removed a benign tumor. Woods won the Bridgestone Invitational and PGA Championship in successive days in August, the latter his 13th profession main. After tying for 2nd at the Deutsche Bank Championship to Phil Mickelson, he won his unofficial Target World Challenge in December, hurt the ultimate two events to fully capture the FedEx Cup, and won his first four events till tying for fifth at Doral last month. He periodically would push his foot against a on the tee box and extend his leg, but there no other symptoms he was damaging. 4 to 6 months the healing is likely to be, meaning Woods won't manage to protect his name May 1 in the Wachovia Championship. The Players Championship will be likely missed by him, among three non-majors he's never missed since turning pro. "Of class, we're dissatisfied when Tiger is not able to participate in a Tour event," commissioner Tim Finchem mentioned on the tour's Site. "There is truly never a great time for a player -- particularly among Tiger's caliber -- to get months removed from competition throughout the period. But his health issues need certainly to come first."
