Comments on: Tiger the One Legged Golfer is Nonsense

Yeah, Tiger said it didn’t hurt until after impact, but do you really believe him? What about as he limped down the fairway, was it hurting then? What about after the final round, when he was seen limping noticeably? So, are stress fractures and torn ACL’s really pain-free?

And, how can you offer “proof to negate the one-legged theory?” What is the one-legged theory? That he was missing a leg? I think it’s just metaphorical for saying his leg was hurting really bad. Are you seriously trying to refute that?

Hey, Matt, “as close to playing on on ‘one leg’ that an athlete can possibly get?”

See Youngblood comma Jack.

Okay…you’re correct. Tiger literally did not compete in the US Open with one leg physically removed from his body. I’m glad that you made this clear to everyone. I think most people with at least half-a-brain recognize the intent of the “one leg” comments. The man won a major golf tournament with a knee that needed to be reconstructed and two stress fractures. To me, that’s as close to playing on “one leg” that an athlete can possibly get.

I think you’re short-changing Tiger. OK, so it wasn’t literally one leg, but a recent knee operation, torn ACL and stress fractures are huge physical obstacles to overcome. I think just about anyone else on the planet WDs.
