He said he needs surgery for a ruptured left knee ligament. He also has stress fractures in the left shinbone. Woods should be back in fine form after treatment, orthopedic surgeons told the Associated Press (AP). But it’s possible that his injuries could lead to arthritis and a shorter career, they said.
