Lasting effects for Tiger?

Tiger's timing on knee news is impeccable - USATODAY.com

What do you think of Tiger Woods' recent loss and his knee surgery last week? Do you think the surgery will correct the problem but not permanently?

[Cutler]

I heard about Tiger's surgery, and I really hope that it doesn't hurt his game at all. I'm hoping that the surgery will permanently correct the problem, but of course, I don't know too much about surgery and I'm not a doctor, so I really have no idea.

[Ruddem]

I don't really know a lot about injuries and surgeries, but for the sake of all that is golf, I hope he heals up quite nicely. He's a legend, I hope this isn't the end of his career.

[Sampson]

I'm hoping that all is well with Tiger. I don't think his career is even close to being over, honestly, and I hope that this injury is not the start of the end.

[Ruddem]

So has there been any update on how Tiger is doing? Any news on how surgery is treating him? I'm curious because I haven't heard much about him ever since I heard he was actually getting the knee surgery.

[Nickolas]

I think I heard that he was doing all right but that it is too soon to tell how this injury will effect his ability to play golf. I hope it heals up, he was one of my favorite golfers

[Sampson]

I honestly hope that his injury is healing nicely. I really think his golfing will be just as good as ever, I think this will only improve his game in the end.

Knees are tricky to deal with. I have had surgey on one of mine and its not as easy a recovery as many others are. If he can manage to pay attention and not try to get back into things too quick, he should have a good shot of healing proper.

[Davey]

I hope he comes out of this all right. I hope he listens to his doctors advice and stays off his feet and takes this time to just relax.

[Sampson]

Yep, he doesn't need to rush to get out there any time soon. I don't like when I hear about athletes getting a major surgery or something, then come to find out that they are back on the field after just a week or two. My younger brother had surgery when he was a kid, and thought that he could go back to playing little league football right after. I just don't think that the athletes set healthy examples when they do that. They need time to heal.
