JC,
I don't believe it - Tiger would only play if he got the green light from his docs and trainers.
He is such an athlete I am sure he can chip, putt and even hit some half shot but, I just can't imagine him playing 18 at Torrey South. Ask your sources if he played from the tips and if he walked the course - no way he would do that this early!
(from NBC website)
Woods said he most likely would not be able to attend the AT&T National after surgery and doctors have advised him to avoid planes.
“But who knows?” he added. “I don’t really listen to doctors all that well, anyway.”
Woods apparently wasn’t listening in May when X-rays revealed a double stress fracture in his left tibia as he was getting back in shape from arthroscopic surgery to clean out cartilage in his troublesome left knee after the Masters.
In a story told by swing coach Hank Haney, doctors said the best treatment was for Woods to spend three weeks on crutches, followed by three weeks of rest. Haney said Woods looked at the doctor and said, “I’m playing the U.S. Open, and I’m going to win.”
--------------------------------
clearly he has a track record of ignoring docs...
...but I doubt he wants to make the same mistake twice so it does seem quite unlikely that he played the golf course. and in this day and time it would almost be impossible for him to do that at a public facility without someone coming up with some pictures.
