Try walking a mile with an ankle sprain. Now imagine trying to walk five miles every day with an ankle held together with bolts and duct tape. Perhaps we'll see him on the senior tour in a few years.

I don't underestimate the severity of what Tiger is dealing with. Years ago, my husband broke, but did not crush, every bone in both of his feet, including heels and ankles. He was lucky that he did not require surgery and that he only had to be in casts and a wheelchair for some months. I agree that Tiger's ankle being crushed and all of the screws and rods used to put him back together are going to complicate things for him. It sounds as though he may have injured only one leg which is a blessing. Not being able to bear weight on either foot is...challenging.
My husband was able to make a complete recovery and I'm hoping the same holds true for Tiger. Tiger is young so I hope that he heals well and winds up with good results.
