Take it from Tiger Woods' coach: The news that the world's best golfer won't start swinging again until 2009 as he recovers from knee surgery is not a setback. "He's not behind schedule," Woods coach Hank Haney said yesterday. "I think people thought, 'It's Tiger Woods, he'll be back in two months.' But it just doesn't work that way." Woods underwent reconstructive surgery on his left knee after winning the U.S. Open in June. Haney, who has worked with Woods since 2004, says the repair to the ACL demands six to eight months of recovery time. That puts Woods on pace for a return to the tour in February. "He's doing really good with his rehab," Haney said. "He feels good about it. I talked to him [Sunday] night for a long time on the phone and he's making great progress, working hard. He's in the pool, on the bike. The ACL is a long rehab - that's just the way it is."

I was playing on XBox live with a guy who says he was the real Tiger Woods and he told me that is was actually fine and just wanted to not play golf for a few months so that he could backroom deal the execs into a huge payoff after they saw how far down hill the sport went without him
