If you look at slow motion films of Tiger's swing, he puts an enormous amount of torque on his left knee during his downswing. This torque is exactly what caused the problem in the first place. Lots of torque + recent knee surgery = pain. Not only that but the knee is affecting his swing and ball flight as well.

Must be alot of non-readers on this particular area of Pelican
... I never questioned his injury, the effect on his swing or anything else. For the umpteenth time my problem was with THE COMMENTATORS WHO MADE IT SEEM LIKE HE WAS PLAYING HB IN THE SUPERBOWL OR RUNNING THE TRIATHALON ON THE LEG. Not negating the pain or influence on swing, but this is a common sports injury that we have seen 100s of guys return from (many before DRs though they could or would). Why are commentators acting like he's the 1st athlete to blow out a knee? Did you see Rod Woodson in the Superbowl a few years ago? Even his comeback from reconstructive knee surgery in 4 months(was suppose to be 6-12 months)wasn't described in the same hallowed terms and he was covering Michael Irvin! That was 13 years ago and medicine has improved quite a bit.
Also with all due respect, your last sentence cuts both ways, reread my original post.
