Turns Out, Tiger Is Injured...

Or he just doesn't want to play Congressional, which I can understand.

Anyway, Brian Wacker analyzes the injury announcement from TigerWoods.com, which broke the news of Tiger's decision to skip the AT&T National and head straight to Muirfield for his next start in the Open Championship.

"I was examined after I returned home from the U.S. Open, and the doctors determined I have a left elbow strain," Woods said on his website.

Woods injured the elbow en route to winning THE PLAYERS Championship, his first victory at TPC Sawgrass since 2001 and his fifth of the season. Though Woods wasn't specific about when he injured the elbow, it's possible he could have in the final round there when hitting from the rough on the 14th hole, where he took a drop after hitting into the water off the tee.

See, even more reason to get rid of the rough at TPC Sawgrass and make it sandy scrub like Pete Dye intended!
