:biggrin:Woods Announces Birth of a Son, but Not a Return

One of the two burning questions about Tiger Woods was answered Monday with a birth announcement. Writing on his Web site, Woods said that he and his wife, Elin, were now the parents of a boy, Charlie Axel Woods, who was born Sunday.
“Both Charlie and Elin are doing great,” Woods said in the statement, “and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts.”
The second-most asked question concerns the timing of the return of Woods, the world’s No. 1 golfer.
Woods, 33, last played in June, winning the 2008 United States Open at Torrey Pines in a 91-hole classic that ended with a sudden-death victory over Rocco Mediate after an 18-hole playoff ended in a tie.
After winning his 14th major championship, Woods said he had been playing on an injured left leg that included a torn anterior cruciate ligament and hairline fractures of the tibia.
He underwent reconstructive knee surgery the day after the playoff, and has been rehabilitating the knee ever since. Last week, he gave no indication when he might return to the PGA Tour. He did provide a glimpse into how his rehabilitation has been going by saying: “Rehab is going great, fantastic. I feel like everything is right on schedule now, the leg feels stronger than it ever has — actually, both legs.”
Wow now he has a son who was born Sunday...... I that is one more hole he will not be playing for the next 4-6 weeks :biggrin:
