Injured Tiger Woods, who won't be going anywhere near a golf ball until next year thanks to a ligament repair, says he's using his new-found spare time by "playing a lot more" games. Not Quake III Arena though...
The golfer, who currently can only walk in a straight line, had his season ended by leg surgery two months ago and won't begin practising until the beginning of 2009.
"Oh, man, you have no idea how much I miss it," Woods told USA Today, adding that he's longing to go jogging and simply walk again.
"I'm playing a lot more [videogames]," he said. "I play my game and Madden. The guys will come over, and we put $5 in the pot, and it's winner take all." $5 isn't much of a bet for a man on Gillette's payroll, is it?
The latest game with Tiger's face on it, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, has enjoyed an exceptional reception since it hit the shops last week, and it's since shot straight to the top of the UK sales charts.
"One thing Tiger does that Madden doesn't is give us a global reach," EA Sports boss Peter Moore told USA Today. "He is one of the pre-eminent athletes in the world, one of the most recognizable human beings in the world, not just an athlete."
seeing as how he probably plays either a 360 or PS3 i very much doubt he's even played Quake arena. i sure as hell haven't. maybe he plays bad company or unreal. plus i'm sure he's got to spare some time to pump that beautiful wife of his.
I didn't know playing golf made you an athlete? I thought athletes did stuff like running and swimming; you know, physically demanding exercises. Not standing around hitting a ball with a metal stick.
Who came up with the idea for that stupid Gillette advert with Henry and Federer?
It's utterly bizarre....it's just the way they all stand there with those knowing, smug grins at the end; almost revelling in the fact that they've basically just bombarded some poor chump with golf balls, tennis balls and footballs all because of his choice of razor. Hell, Tiger Woods is even waiting in the guys front garden - just waiting for him to go and have that early morning shave....maybe playing games is a better way to spend his time!

Shame on you Mr. Woods.
i'd be putting in an insurance claim against Mr Woods for smashing up the rest of the bathroom with his errant golf ball. plus he's probably broken a few of that guys fingers as well. also when that guy catches the new razor in packet, the speed that its going at would probably cut that guys hands to pieces. have you ever tried to open those plastic packets. there as sharp as hell

I am sorry. I am crying with laughter at this line. So does he have to walk with a friend who, when they get to a corner, his friend picks him up and turns him in the direction that they want to go?

ROFL!!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no - it's not a friend, it's an employee!
That would have to be the second crappiest job in the world ever - after the guy who was paid to blow cocaine up Stevie Nicks' a**e on Fleetwood Mac tours of the 70's (allegedly, of course)
