Tiger's knee
I tore my anterior and posterior ligaments and cartilage 54 years ago and I am looking at a total knee replacement this fall.
I have been able to play all these years by rotating my left foot toward the target (some days more than others depending on how tight the knee is). This allows me to simply stand on the left foot with out torqueing the knee which is what I believe is happening to Tiger and causing real problems.
This position does limit some rearward rotation but does allow a finish that is balanced and facing the target (without pain).
I am a Life member of the PGA with 49 years of teaching experience and still learning.
