Rajon Rondo is tougher than Tiger Woods
How does this guy have so many injuries? Knee and achilles? He's in his 30's. I've played plenty of golf. It's not that physical of a sport...
lol
You don't walk every round you play, 4 days a week, for the majority of the year. The fact that you tried to compare your game to a PGA pro is so ridiculous, but somehow not surprising.
Not to mention the fact that Tiger has probably hit about 2 million balls on the range. A pro golfer puts a LOT of strain on their body - much more than most amatuers that have no where near the swing speed. It can affect the back, the knees, the shoulder.
I don't see the other top guys injured. Just Tiger. And he's not a "top guy" anymore anyway. Maybe he should work out in the offseason so he can strengthen his body instead of spending all offseason doing hookers...
Ernie Els missed close to a year with a knee injury
Fred Couples has fought a bad back his whole career
Anthony Kim missed close to a year with a wrist injury
I know of several others who have also missed considerable time due to knee, wrist, finger, back, and other issues. Tiger just gets much more publicity and pressure to get back after just taking a couple of weeks off.
Pros generate so much torque to get those swing speeds/launch speeds, not to mention walking 4 rounds (Average close to 7,000 yards plus distance between holes) out in the open (no indoor stadiums - try walking in Florida in July/August four consecutive days playing golf - I triple dog dare ya!
)
