Rehabbing Woods chips, putts

May 13, 2008

Tiger Woods is chipping and putting again, and he hopes to play in the Memorial in two weeks.

Woods had surgery on his left knee April 15 for the second time in five years, this time to clean out some cartilage. He has not played since finishing three shots behind Trevor Immelman at the Masters.

Doctors said the recovery would be four to six weeks, and Woods said his rehabilitation was going well.

"I'll tell you what, I'm getting sick and tired of riding the bike," he said.

Woods has been able to chip and putt, and he said he hopes to work his way through the bag to hit fuller shots as he regains strength. But he is in no shape to play now, except for a short game contest.

"I couldn't compete against those guys, unless we were playing a putt-putt course," he said. "All I could do was chip and putt. I think they would have a distinct advantage over me for anything over 30 yards."

• Wie // Don't look for Michelle Wie at this year's Ginn Tribute hosted by Annika Sorenstam. Wie did not seek an exemption into the event she played a year ago, the tournament said. Last May, Wie, citing a wrist injury, withdrew after playing 16 holes of her opening round. Wie said she didn't leave because she was two shots shy of the LPGA Tour's "88" rule. That would have banned her from further tour exemptions until the next season for shooting an 88 or higher. Wie, however, was seen practicing at the LPGA Tour's next stop.
