Tiger is probably one of the greatest golfers of all time, but a real golf fan will watch no matter who is playing. All those guys are unbelievealby talented.

Tiger has reconstructive surgery today and the doctors report there were no surprises and that it is "highly unlikely" there will be any long term effects.
