MASTERS TOOK ITS TOLL ON TIGER - HE IS OUT FOR A FEW WEEKS

FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH WEBSITE
Tiger Woods will be out of action for ''a few weeks'' after medical tests revealed he suffered a double injury setback during the Masters earlier this month.
The American sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and also strained his left Achilles while playing a difficult stroke on the 17th hole of his third round at Augusta National.
Woods was able to complete the first major championship of the season - eventually finishing in a tie for fourth place, four strokes behind winner Charl Schwartzel - but subsequently elected to seek a medical evaluation.
A statement on his personal website read: ''Doctors have advised rest and cold-water therapy, and soft tissue treatment will also occur later this week.
''There is no definitive time frame for healing, but Woods hopes to be back in a few weeks.''
Woods was next due in action at the Wells Fargo Championship at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte from May 5-8 but has confirmed he will now miss the tournament.
