If he was superhuman, shouldn't his ACL and ligaments be impervious to injury?

does the PGA have a drug-testing policy?
what drugs do you think he was on? couldn't be on pain killers, they'd f*ck him up too much - man needs to be able to concentrate. beta blockers, aderol, other nerve/concentration drugs? maybe. possibly some light steroid use?

They do not (yet). I think it goes into effect next month.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say this Tiger Woods abscence is a little peculiar. But I'm not.

next thing you'll tell me is that Michael Jordan didn't retire to play baseball.

It's fucking golf!!
There's a pro-golfer (Casey Martin) who is disabled, so walking around with bad knee is no biggie.

yes, and he stank. he had one small win that one him a spot on the PGA for a year through exemption, in 1998. yawn.
come back when you can point to someone as consistently dominating as woods and/or can win a major under similar physical hardship. i'm not impressed by golf either, as previously stated, but this was an incredible feat.

So woods has had this boo-boo his whole career then huh?
I didn't say he was good, I just said he did it. But he has to be pretty eff'n good to turn pro.
But that's all I'm going to say on the matter, I've spent way to much on this subject anyway. Golf… it's like lawn darts, only wearing plaid and winkle-pickers.

It was because of gambling debts. Everyone knows this.

I watch hockey. And Golf. And NASCAR. And Soccer. And women's tennis, depending on who's playing, but not men's tennis, no matter who's playing.
