After an incredible finish to last weekend’s U.S. Open, Tiger Woods has announced his intentions to shut it down for 2008.

According to his website, El Tigre has decided to have reconstructive ACL surgery on his left knee.

Tiger suffered a double stress fracture in his left tibia prior to the tournament, which is shocking because I can’t remember anyone mentioning any type of leg or knee injury last weekend. Apparently the white coats have assured Tiger that these stress fractures will heal completely.

I’m pretty sure this will be surgery number four on the left knee, which can’t be encouraging for the Woods camp. Sure, he’s probably the greatest ever, but to already have a “chronic” health problem at his age (32) does not bode well for the future.

Then again, he’s so rich he will probably just get one of those really cool prosthetic legs like that dude that’s been trying to qualify for the Olympics. That would be awesome.
