Tiger: "Bone kinda popped out..." ???

It's not possible to get hurt THAT often playing golf.

If you drive it as crooked as he does, maybe it is. He needs to keep the ball in play off the tee. Stay away from the bunkers and stay away from the trees.

No he said both a bone and a joint popped out of place.
[/quote]

Someone post the [i]actual[/i] quote. I seem to remember him just saying, something along the lines of the wrist popped out of the joint and he popped it back in. While doing this and continuing on at the level he did is still questionable, it's hardly impossible.
[/quote]It's friggin impossible! Get over it.

You've never seen someone pop out their wrist? I've seen people do this and pop it back in. Now, a bone actually popping out and being popped back is something entirely different.

[jay65]

Any professional horticulturalists or tree surgeons around here, that can confirm the type of tree that was nearest to him and if the roots system is likely to go outside the drip line of that species of tree or not? Lmao!!

Come on guys, this subject is getting far too much air time, and in my opinion, detracting away from Spieths' victory a little, the very fact it's even being discussed.

[blblco02]

Tiger derangement syndrome.

[Choclab]

Of course it's ridiculous.

But this is the same guy who for almost two decades has acted like he's been shot after every into-the-wind bunker shot, so what do you expect.

Edit, 3jacker beat me to it...

Sometimes when the integrity of the joint becomes compromised dislocation and reduction can occur with far less pain than when it first happens. The way he fired off that "he popped it back in" made me assume that it has happened before.

I used to ski patrol and was a W-EMT and a lunate dislocation is not reduced in the field. There's too much concern over whether the radius is fractured or not.

I broke one of the other carpals, the scaphoid and eventually had a screw put into it, and I can tell you it was no picnic.

I was a little surprised it didn't check the lie and try and pick the ball if it was hard or there were roots. As valuable as his hands and wrists are to him I would think he would be more careful.

[Joebirds55]

I'm more interested in seeing how many pages worth of comments a thread on Tiger's bone will generate

[3jacker]

I think he did check the lie and it was fine.
I don't think there was a root.
I don't think a "bone" (his actual word) popped out.
Or that he popped it back in and was fine as wine
by Hole 11.

[Matt J]

A huge chunk of wood flew up when he made contact and he immediately grimaced so I don't think it's debatable that he hit a root.

[3jacker]

He was in the woods. No way that huge chunk was cut out by his club.
His shaft would've broken or bent.

You're right, it's just a big conspiracy. Tiger wasn't even on the course yesterday. That was just a hologram.

Geoff Shackelford went out there and looked at it. He said it was a hole and clay. The video evidence is there that his club cut out some kind of hard piece of ground, whether it was a tree root or clay as Shackelford reported. It sure as heck wasn't a normal divot.

[3jacker]

Of course I'm right.

It wasn't a root, and it wasn't a bone.

Love how the syncophants play this game. I really shouldn't keep going,
it's like teasing a kindergartener. But I can't help it.

I think we're about due for another one to post that we should stop talking
about it.

[Mr. Grumpy]

I have done this and I have my theory as to why, but I have not paid for a doc to evaluate it that far.

Dislocation, in my case, does not need to be a full on out of joint. I have, during non professional competition, dislocated a pinky, twice. The first was a full on little guy was backward, I freaked and without hesitation put it back in place and continued to play backyard football swelling began about 15 min later.. The second was slight, pop out, pop back, pain but no swelling until later that night - Basketball this time...

My knee does this often, but it is because of several previous injuries....

So, it is plausible, but I suspect that since he is not a doctor, he mis diagnosed and miss spoke a bit in saying it was a bone thinking that is what it was.. He is a golfer, not a doctor. However, something did happen and the hand and wrist is a very complex mix of muscle, ligament and bone... Cut him some slack knowing that he didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express either.....

Sounds like he is saying he dislocated his wrist and popped it back in. He just poorly worded his explanation. Just my opinion though.

I'd say you're a joke, that's for sure.

Someone, please answer this question logically:
In all of the PGA history, why is it that ONLY Tiger Woods is the one allegedly getting hurt like he does? Nowhere else in the history of the PGA has a player so consistantly withdrawn from tournaments because of injury, or complained of injury like Tiger has. It's just plain and simple fact.

[quote name='bladehunter' timestamp='1428933844' post='11346961']
And on top of it all who gives a crap? Why does it bother you that he may be incorrect about his own diagnosis? Answer? Because it's tiger! Lol. Too funny
[/quote]

Wow at those two posts. But at least you're no fanboy.

"I dislocated a bone in my wrist, popped it back in and continued to play no problem"

Your opinion is that hearing that from anyone else would be believable? If mother Teresa made this claim I'd laugh in her face and call BS.

well, if you want to believe Hank Haney's book, the answer is right there.

[ClarkGrswld4]

Rinaldi or whoever was doing the interview had a priceless comment something to the effect of "you popped a bone back in place?" Tiger-"yep", Rinaldi-"um ok"

[bscinstnct]

It hurt; it definitely hurt,’’ Woods said. “I didn’t know there was a tree root there. I drove my hand or drove the club straight into it. It didn’t move. But my body kept moving. I told [TV] there that there was a little joint that popped out and I was able to somehow put it back in, which didn’t feel very good, but at least it got back in and I could move my hand again.
“I was in a hole, there was a big depression there and I didn’t really suspect there would be anything in front of it. Evidently, there was.’’

Tigerrrrr! Next year, he will tear a branch of a tree and replace an injured forearm with it.

Amazing how riled up some are about this. But, he made the cut and did fine so I can see how some would be disappointed.

What's your point? Tiger owns a lot of PGA history, why not this one. Not sure why you have this animosity toward someone you have probably never met or been close with. Like I said in another post, it is hip these days to be partisan...

[/quote]Gee Tom. Where do your facts come from? Or do you make them up? Is 8 times in 18 years consistently?
[color=#3B3A38]
Woods's early exit marked the eighth time in his PGA Tour career that he's withdrawn from a tournament and the sixth time he's done so in the last five seasons. That number is nine if you include the 1995 U.S. Open, where a then 19-year-old Woods -- an amateur at the time -- withdrew after injuring his wrist while playing a shot from deep rough at Shinnecock Hills.[/color][color=#3B3A38]

I said this in the shoe thread--I am finding it increasingly difficult to believe anything that Tiger says anymore. I don't think I'm alone in this.

signed, a Tiger fan who was there 97 on.

[smiley9929]

Not a TW fan but clearly he could have been seriously injured on that shot.

One of the replays showed a chunk of tree root flying through the air like a chainsaw threw it out.

Props to him for shaking it off and finishing the tournament and I hope it isn't a lingering issue, 'cause he's got plenty of other (health) issues.

I caught my club in the fairway somehow and had horrible wrist pain. If you saw his shot then I can't see how anyone would doubt an injury occurred. The club came to a stop,ouch.
[/quote]

I'm not doubting that it hurt or that he was injured; I'm just questioning the need for what seems to me to be a consistent theme of over-dramatizing things, and theatrically up-playing certain things, like difficult shots on the golf course. Of course the media loves to hype this sort of thing, It's just weird that he hypes it himself...

The "Tiger won the US Open on a broken leg" is an example of the media way over-hyping the injury. He had a freaking stress fracture for crying out loud. There are military recruits in basic training all around the world running 5 miles a day and doing all other kinds of physical training a lot more strenuous than golf with stress fractures in their lower legs. It's a very common occurrence. The media makes it sound like his femur was compound fractured, broken through the skin of his thigh, and held in with duct tape while he bravely carried on to victory...lol!
[/quote]

He had multiple stress fractures along with a blown ACL and the doctor told him not to play. But I guess you know better than his doctor.
[/quote]

I'm not questioning his injury, or the grit and determination it took to win at Torrey. My point is that it's heroic enough on its own without all of the dramatic hype. The media's portrayal of the injury as a "broken leg" is just silly. I've experienced both injuries, so I know what it feels like, and wouldn't characterize either as a "broken leg." In fact, the ACL injury probably caused him more pain than the stress fractures.
