Tiger Woods has knee surgery:
Out for six weeks

Tiger Woods is out of golf for the next few weeks.
He had surgery yesterday on a left knee problem that has caused him pain for several months.
Woods had surgery on the same knee in 1994 and late 2002.
According to his website, Tiger could be on the shelf for up to six weeks, which means he will miss starts at the Wachovia Championship, Players Championship and possibly the Memorial, all events he has won in the past.
He is defending champion at the Wachovia Championship in Charlotte, a tournament he missed in 2006 when his father died. He's won the Memorial, which is exactly six weeks down the road, three times.
"I made the decision to deal with the pain and schedule the surgery for after the Masters," Woods said on his website. "The upside is that I have been through this process before and know how to handle it. I look forward to working through the rehabilitation process and getting back to action as quickly as I can."
"Tiger has been experiencing pain in his knee since the middle of last year, and when he had it looked at by his doctors, arthroscopic surgery was recommended," said Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent.
"Cartilage damage was found during the procedure, which Dr. Rosenberg was able to correct. Tiger has played through the pain in the past, but knew it would be better for him to have the procedure done as early as possible."
Despite whatever pain he was feeling, Woods has won seven of his last 10 official worldwide starts, including five in a row in one stretch, dating to last July. He finished fifth and second in his last two starts.

***John Daly has had surgery this week to repair a torn stomach muscle. Daly has agreed to play the Spanish Open in Seville in two weeks. That's opposite the Wachovia Championship, which did not offer Daly an exemption this year. Daly is contemplating an extended stay in Europe, possibly playing the Italian Open and Irish Open the following two weeks, and perhaps the BMW Championship at Wentworth.
