Tiger Woods Using Crutches. Says He’ll Be Ready for Us Open

Tiger Woods is using crutches and wearing a protective boot on his left leg to make sure he’s healthy enough to play the U.S. Open.
With proper rest Woods expects he’ll be “ready to go” for the U.S. Open June 16-19 at Congressional.
Woods is counting on proper treatment and rehabilitation. He is bothered by pain in his left knee, left Achilles’ tendon, tightening in his calf, and sore lower back. He says doctors have not mentioned leg surgery.
“I’ve had four surgeries on it,” said Woods. “Obviously, it’s not what it was when I was little.”
Woods said he’ll start training by the end of next week. How his leg responds will determine when he can start hitting balls again.
