Golfer Tiger Woods had surgery on his left knee today to repair cartilage damage.  It is the third surgery on Tiger’s left knee.  Even with the bum knee Tiger still finished second at the Master’s tournament last weekend.

“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.”

Tiger likely will miss 4-6 weeks and miss the The Players Championship.  Woods should however be back in time for the U.S. Open.
