Following his second place finish in the Masters, Tiger Woods is to undergo surgery on his left knee and will be out for between four to six weeks. Woods will now be unable to defend his Wachovia Championship title at the beginning of May and could also miss the Players Championship .
The world number one has previously undergone two operations on the same knee and will now have arthroscopic surgery in an attempt to cure the problem. Woods manager Mark Steinberg revealed that Woods has been struggling with the knee problem since mid-2007 and has been eager to undergo the surgery as early as possible.
