Woods won't swing club until '09

In his monthly newsletter, Tiger Woods said he will not be able to swing a club until next year.  From the newsletter:

As far as swinging a club, that's not going to happen until next year.  I just don't have a choice. We simply don't know what type of swelling there would be or if there would be any residual effects the next day once you start wheeling and dealing on the knee. Everyone's body reacts differently. I could putt right now, but I'm not going to do it.

Woods had said that he wasn't planning to watch the PGA Championship on television.  On the contrary, Mark Lamport-Stokes of Reuters writes:

While spending quality time at home with his Swedish wife Elin and young daughter Sam Alexis, Woods has been watching television coverage of the Olympic Games.

He also watched last week's U.S. PGA Championship at Oakland Hills where Ireland's Padraig Harrington won his second successive major title.
