Tiger Woods is having surgery on his knee and John Daly is having surgery on his stomach. Woods announced that he will undergo surgery on his left knee and will be out of action four to six weeks. That means he will miss defending at the Wachovia Championship and also will be absent from the Players Championship. He expects to be ready for the U.S. Open in June and perhaps The Memorial. "I made the decision to deal with the pain and schedule the surgery for after the Masters," Woods said. "The upside is that I have been through this process before and know how to handle it. I look forward to working through the rehabilitation process and getting back to action as quickly as I can." Contrary to some commentators, Woods did not blame his performance at the Masters on his sore knee.
Daly, on the other hand, is blaming his lackluster performance for the past two years on a torn stomach muscle that he will have repaired by a surgeon who treats University of Arkansas football players. Daly, who has eight WDs and14 MCs in 33 tournaments, might consider liposuction on a gut that looks like the result of too much beer and too many dinners at Hooters.
