TW out of AT&T National

[BigGameDb]

Was told by doctors to rest his left elbow which is strained. Plans on coming back at British Open.

[tbowles411]

Not surprised as many times he was aggravating it hitting out of the rough over 4 days.

Tigerrrrrr!

He will probably hit the craps tables, hope he "shoots" righty....

[ethanlculver]

Wow...ok. As long as he's good for the British I don't care. But "rest" and "treatment" usually means no practice either, so he might not be working on that short game that needs improvement.

[cinnepa]

i bet he's probably not thrilled with his buddy notah either.........who gave up the elbow info during the open broadcast - tigger pretty much blew it off at every interview.

[cinnepa]

while i always thought "the record" seemed like a no-brainer.......i have huge doubts now.

I'm sure he'll be rolling thousands of putts every day with just that right hand. This might be good for him.

[Child Please]

Good, he needs to duct tape that putter into his hands for a month.

[Carolina Golfer 2]

Have to say, I'm not too upset with this news. Should make for a less crowded course next week, I might head out there now.

Child, please!

I had to do it!

[Brock Savage]

He must really be hurting to skip the ATT. He's the unofficial host and defending champ.

It will be less crowded now. He'll be there to do his host duties and hand the trophy over.

[Smash Factors]

Should have withdrawn from the US Open.

[color=#444444][size=4]"I have been advised to take a few weeks off, rest and undergo treatment. I'll be ready to go for the British Open, and I'm looking forward to playing at Muirfield. I would like to extend my regrets to AT&T, our sponsors and the fans in the Washington, D.C., area," Woods wrote. "The AT&T National means a lot to me and my foundation. It's especially difficult not defending at my own tournament. It's going to be a great event, and I look forward to being there to provide my support."[/size][/color]

[scratchswinger]

I don't see this affecting his preparation or practice, I think this could be a good thing.

Hopefully thats the one thing he does work on. It'll likely be the first thing he's able to get back to. Putting. Then chipping. Etc. Actually no reason he cant practice putting the whole time I hope.

True. I should have tickets Thursday-Sunday, so I'll still there.

[Skaffa77]

Not surprised by his performance at the US Open and the obvious discomfort he displayed.

I'm still waiting for someone to either come into this thread and talk about it all being an excuse for his poor play or a sign that his body can't handle golf anymore and that he is finish.

[rafer11]

No surprise. I was waiting for when this would be stated. Maybe a Steve Stricker-esque break will do him some good.

Give it time. You know it's going to happen.

[cleanfreak]

this is only excuse for his poor play and a sign that his body can't handle golf anymore, so he is finished.

I'll bite....I think "sounds like an excuse for his poor play or a sign that his body can't handle golf anymore and that he is finished" at least in the Majors.

[lumberman2462]

Nagging injuries....they're a pain in the #$*. Probably a smart move to get the rest and rehab.

I was thinking the same thing. This isn't an event he'd want to skip. Must be pretty painful.

You forgot to mention the people who will run here to accuse him of using steroids in the past

Why do I feel like he is a fan of the proposition bets.

Or hard ways.

[lumberman2462]

Didn't AT&T sponsor him [i]Pre-Scandal???[/i]

Seems like I remember that...
