- Someday golfers will discover real strength training. I mean, stress fractures from golfing? Weight training would take care of that.

BTW...
at approximately 190lbs,Tiger benches somewhere in the vicinity of 400lbs...
While not all golfers utilize strentgh training, this guy is an absolute monster. Michael Jordan was quoted as saying his back and shoulders rival an NFL linebacker''s... - Reply to this comment

- slim1h20 and bhoogren,
The stresses on one''s body at professional levels are incredible...
A proper golf swing generates (relatively) massive amounts of torque through twisting motions using the back, legs and and shoulders. The right leg acts as a brace on the backswing, but the real stress is on the left leg which absorbs virtually all the force of the swing through impact. There was a golfer whose left ankle broke during a swing at the British Open a few years ago. These guys have clubhead speeds approaching (and in some cases exceeding) 130 mph at impact, so you can well imagine the amount of force required to accelerate an object from 0 to 130 in something less than 1 second. - Reply to this comment

dowell100, only a moron like you will compare the two. Tiger is a mixed race, so what. He is and will always be the best golfer ever. Achieving what he has done in the short time he has been a professional will never be duplicated again, well, in our lifetime that is. Why not take your moronic statements where they belong, and that is on FOX news.

Well, since you brought it up, Obama is mixed race too, so there is one comparison you failed to see.
One is a beloved Golfer and race is not an issue with him ot anyone.
The other is a divisive politician, and people say that if you don''t like him you are a racist.
What''s wrong with that picture?
Race should not be an issue in either politics or sports, but the politican is making it an issue.
You reference FOX news in a negative way, so I can only assume you are an Obama supporter, and that is the reason you disparage others so easily by calling them morons. Very impolite. - Reply to this comment

- I had no idea the human body was subjected to such stress in the sport of golf.
Apparently at the professional level the stresses can cause injuries.
I wish Mr. Woods a speedy and successful recovery and congratulations on his top level achievements made under these physical challenges. - Reply to this comment

I can''''''''t believe how many complete idiots there are on these posting boards.
This is a board about Tiger Woods...not McCain and Obama.
All you political morons need to go congregate like flies in your cesspool somewhere else.

Harsh attack, but the censors have left it up, shanev137.
But the fact of the matter is Tiger is beloved and his race is not an issue. Obama is not loved but if you don''t like him you are considered a racist.
This strange dichotomy has a place in discussions about sports and politics.- Reply to this comment
