Tiger's Rehab Includes Lots of Eating

Tiger Woods won't be able to play in his own Chevron World Challenge at the end of the year this season. He still can't rotate on the knee that was reconstructed in surgery earlier this year, and that means no golf.

But while his knee still isn't healthy, his appetite certainly is. Woods told reporters in a conference call, speaking about his activities during tournament week at the Challenge:

"... It will be a different kind of week for me, a lot of eating, a lot of sitting in there and grubbing."

Better watch out, El Tigre. You've always been a figurative fat cat; don't want to become a literal one.

As for the status of his rehab, Tiger said this:

"No matter how much you try and do, you really can't speed up that process.

"That puts me into January. And unfortunately, I can't rotate; I can't practise on that leg until then. That's just a natural healing process of any ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), for the graft to take.

"As far as getting back next year, I'm really focused on trying to get my body healthy for so that I can compete at a high level and get to where I can compete down the stretch in events again."
