Woods Surgery Cover for DDC Work?

(From TMZ.com--and Jim Stachowiak)

Yesterday, on his website Tiger Woods announced that he will be having surgery on his right knee and thus will not be participating in any tour events for the next 4-6 weeks while rehabbing his surgically repaired knee. While this is from his official website, TMZ.com has sources who say the striped one may not be being totally honest with his fans. Tiger Woods is a known supporter of Jim Stachowiak and Mike Roush when it comes to the only major that he cannot officially participate in, the NFL DDC. After two crushing defeats to Nolan and Ostrander the last couple of years, Tiger feels that he may has some inside knowledge on this year’s course, Cog Hill, that will help Roush and Stachowiak reclaim “the birdie” says an unidentified tour member. “He wants to help, but he wants to fly under the radar to catch Nolan and Ostrander off guard, that is why he concocted this injury story.” Looking at Woods’ timetable for return, five weeks from the surgery date would be May 20th, the week after the DDC, giving him enough time away from the tour and the media to work with Roush and Stachowiak on their strategy. Also, TMZ.com has learned that Woods will be ‘rehabbing” at a facility in Hannibal, Missouri. What is the significance of that? Well, Hannibal is roughly half way between St. Louis and Iowa City, or the respective homes of Roush and Stachowiak. These “coincidences” lead many on tour to believe that Woods isn’t actually having surgery at all, I guess we’ll find out come DDC weekend.

Following this weekend’s incident with a Red Sox fan burying a Red Sox jersey under the new Yankee Stadium as a curse on the Yankees, rumors have begun spreading that Roush and Stachowiak may have attempted to put a similar curse on Nolan and Ostrander. Reached at work Stachowiak stated that Michael and Shannon Ostrander may be surprised at what they’d find if they took a jackhammer to the foundation of their recently completed home in Belding. He would not specify, but said that some Roush-Stachowiak memorabilia was let onsite during a covert summer 2007 trip to Belding as a curse on Nolan and Ostrander. Mike Roush would not comment on the situation when approached this week and Nolan and Ostrander were unavailable for comments. With the golf world focused on the DDC, sparks seem to be beginning to fly. Stay tuned for more on this story.
