I saw limited coverage of his play but noted that there may be some truth to the apparent inconsistency in "illness behaviour" that Tiger demonstrated.

Not so much it was :-

bad shot=ouch..my sore knee

good shot = no problem

Actually more variable than that ...I am sure somebody will have a video of this behaviour on Youtube soon ...Tiger is never off the screen!

The question that then arises is "does a real injury always lead to demonstrable pain behaviour on every shot?" ....answer = no.

So "does variable/inconsistent pain behaviour prove that he was faking it" ...answer = no.

Let us see the MRI

But if that left knee is really going for surgery number four then I think that Tiger has peaked in terms of his "power golf" swing...but he might come back with his version of "modern Fundamentals" swing...less power , more precision...and I would not put it past him to try left handed so that he can use his right knee!!

There are questions about the timing of this incident with drug testing coming in...always a murky topic... one which Tiger would do well to silence by what might be seen as "out of season" testing right now.
